The Top Talent Pass Scheme Category B is Hong Kong's streamlined work visa for experienced professionals holding a bachelor's degree from a world-renowned university and at least three years of work experience. No job offer is required. The scheme provides a direct pathway to permanent residence.

Visa costs HK$1,900 (HK$600 application fee plus HK$1,300 issuance fee) and takes approximately four weeks to process. The initial visa lasts 24 months and is renewable. Spouses may work unrestricted. Dependents may accompany the applicant and work or study without restrictions.

This visa is ideal for university-educated professionals seeking to establish their career in Hong Kong without a pre-arranged employer, with the flexibility to switch jobs or start a business.
