TTPS-C — Top Talent Pass Scheme (Category C)

The Top Talent Pass Scheme Category C targets recent graduates from world-renowned universities with less than three years of work experience. It offers unrestricted work authorization to freely change employment or establish a business, with no job offer required. This makes it an excellent entry point for early-career professionals.

The visa grants a 24-month initial stay, renewable with proof of Hong Kong employment or business establishment. Fees are HK$600 application plus HK$1,300 issuance. Spouses may work without restriction. Processing typically takes four weeks, with 10,000 annual places available first-come, first-served. The visa provides a pathway to permanent residence.

This visa is ideal for recent graduates from premier universities seeking to launch careers in Hong Kong without a pre-arranged job offer.
