A Pilot Scheme to provide immigration facilitation for visitors participating in short-term activities in designated sectors will be launched on Wednesday. Those visitors may come to Hong Kong without the need to apply for employment visas or entry permits from the Immigration Department. Under the Scheme, host organizations authorized by the relevant government organizations can issue invitation letters to relevant non-local talents in their sectors. Invited persons may come to Hong Kong to participate in designated short-term activities as visitors without the need to apply for employment visas or entry permits from the Immigration Department. All persons are subject to applicable immigration control for visiting Hong Kong, including examination upon arrival in accordance with the applicable laws, policies, and practices.
