Hong Kong meritocracy program since 2021, the quota from 2,000 people / year surge to 4,000 people / year, to 2023 to abolish the quota limit. It can be clearly seen that the Hong Kong government management for the demand for business talent we really need to be very huge,work visa application hong kong which also allows more and more elite education talent to see some of the benefits of the Hong Kong meritocracy, began to develop their own DIY application path.

In terms of money alone, DIY Hong Kong Talent Program can indeed save money, but it can really save heart? According to incomplete statistics, not many DIY applications by Hong Kong talents have been approved. Moreover, after preparing and submitting a heap of documents, many mistakes and omissions are found. To summarize, it cannot achieve the effect of saving time and worry. Here are a few dimensions to give you an analysis why it is not recommended for applicants to do their own DIY.

1. Inaccurate self-scoring score

Genius has two scoring systems:Achievement and Comprehensive, and the comprehensive scoring system is suitable for most people. The applicant's age, education, language ability, work experience, family background, talent list and other factors are scored comprehensively. The qualifying score line is 80 out of 245. During the self-scoring process, many applicants are not aware of the specific scoring criteria behind the comprehensive scoring program and are prone to high self-scoring scores. If the scoring is not objective enough to raise the score, the applicant will not be able to provide proof of information to the Department of Immigration at a later stage, and it is very likely that the visa will be refused.

2. Application copy is old-fashioned

The selection of outstanding talents is not "score-based", and the passing score is the basis. The Department of Immigration's selection is more based on the applicant's personal strengths, work experience, professional ability, industry, plans to come to Hong Kong and other aspects. Many DIY applicants will obtain some template documents online or through other channels and mechanically copy against these templates. Even if they have strong personal ability, the application copy is the same and it is easy to fall off the list.

3. Confusing information and unstandardized file formats

Immigration departments have certain requirements for relevant documents in merit-based applications, and sometimes require multiple supplemental relevant materials or documents. The whole application process is time-consuming and cumbersome. Timely and prudent communication with the Immigration Department is required on how to handle lost and irrecoverable supporting information, how to issue and supplement certain supporting information, and what information is considered as valid supporting information. This makes it more difficult for busy people to find time to deal with them one by one.

As the saying goes, "there are specialties for specialists", letting professionals do what they are specialized in will really save time and worry. We want to provide professional services for applicants applying for Hong Kong identity, and applicants want to obtain Hong Kong identity. A win-win situation is good for everyone.
