Arreglos de inmigración para graduados no locales a PR
Ciudadanía en Hong Kong SAR
- Elegibilidad
- Immigration Arrangements for Non-local Graduates (IANG): for non-local students who obtained an undergraduate-or-higher qualification via a full-time, locally-accredited HKSAR programme (including Greater Bay Area campuses of HK institutions). Quota-free, non-sector-specific. 'Recent graduates' (apply within 6 months of graduation) need no job offer, get a 24-month initial stay; 'non-recent graduates' (apply after 6 months) must have secured a job offer. Free to change employer without prior IMMD approval. All talent/employment residence schemes (GEP, ASMTP, QMAS, TTPS, IANG, TechTAS) share a common statutory endpoint: Cap.115 Schedule 1 para 2(d) (non-Chinese-national route) or para 2(b) (Chinese-citizen route) — 7 continuous years' ordinary residence with Hong Kong taken as the place of permanent residence — is the sole bridge to the residence-tier status of 'permanent resident'/right

Yes — the Immigration Arrangements for Non-local Graduates scheme grants an initial unconditional stay of up to 24 months without requiring a job offer at the time of application.
Continued renewal beyond the initial unconditional-stay period, and progression toward the 7-year PR clock, depends on subsequently securing and maintaining qualifying employment or self-employment.
No — since the scheme's 2008 revision, IANG's initial stay does not require a prior job offer; the graduate may use the unconditional stay period to seek employment locally.
This is a common misconception worth explicitly correcting; confirm current scheme terms haven't reverted, as policy details can be revised.
IANG is generally the applicable channel for non-local graduates of HK-recognised institutions (including mainland Chinese graduates of HK universities), while ASMTP is aimed at mainland residents entering HK for employment without the HK-graduate element — the two overlap in population but serve distinct procedural purposes.
Confirm with IMMD which specific channel his HK-graduate status qualifies him for, since eligibility criteria differ even where the underlying trajectory (toward 7-year PR) is similar.
IANG eligibility is generally understood to require the application to be made within a specified window following graduation.
The precise current eligibility window and whether it has since been extended/changed is NLR-flagged — confirm against live IMMD guidance before advising whether a 3-year gap disqualifies the applicant.
