Cidadania em Hong Kong SAR
- Elegibilidade
- General Employment Policy (GEP): quota-free, non-sector-specific residence route requiring a genuine job offer commensurate with the applicant's qualifications, which cannot be readily filled locally, at market-rate remuneration. Initial stay is 36 months on employment condition (or contract duration if shorter); extension pattern 3-2 years. Not citizenship; residence route only, feeding the standard 7-year ordinary-residence bridge to right of abode (Cap.115 Sch.1 para 2(b)/(d)). 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 of abode. None of these sc

Yes — if the employer demonstrates a genuine vacancy that cannot be readily filled locally and the applicant has the relevant qualifications/experience, a GEP employment visa can be granted; continuous ordinary residence on this visa can accrue toward the 7-year PR route.
GEP approval requires employer sponsorship and a genuine-vacancy test each renewal — it is not an automatic multi-year guarantee; PR itself only follows after a full continuous 7 years.
Yes — spouse and minor children of a GEP visa holder can typically apply for dependant visas (HK-DEP-01) to accompany him, subject to standard dependant-visa criteria and his ability to support them.
Dependant status is derivative of his continuing GEP status; if his employment visa lapses, dependant status is directly affected.
He does not automatically receive PR at year 7 — he must affirmatively apply for permanent residence under HK-RES-01 once he has completed a continuous 7-year period of ordinary residence, at which point Immigration Department assesses the application.
He should continue renewing his GEP visa without interruption through year 7 to preserve continuity, then submit a separate PR application.
GEP is not an automatic-eligibility list by profession — the hospital, as sponsor, must demonstrate a genuine vacancy, that the role cannot be readily filled by a local candidate, and that her qualifications/experience match the position, per general GEP criteria.
Sector-specific quotas or facilitation channels for healthcare workers may exist separately — confirm current IMMD guidance on healthcare-sector GEP facilitation before assuming a generic outcome.
