Work permission and Talent Recruitment: do not merge the routes
Public information shows that employment permission for specialised non-resident workers and Talent Recruitment are separate systems. This guide helps distinguish who applies, in what order to read, and which official platform to use.
- 01
Confirm the applicant's role
Import, renewal and transfer permissions for specialised non-resident workers are employer-led services. A job seeker should not treat this as a personal work-permission application that they can complete alone.
- 02
Use the three employment stages
For specialised non-resident workers, the official page separately lists import, renewal and transfer. Employers should check the relevant entry and documents for the actual stage of engagement.
- 03
Read the Talent Recruitment position first
The Talent Recruitment system has High-end, Outstanding and Advanced Professional programmes. Evaluation criteria and live arrangements must be checked with the official system page and e-application platform.
- 04
Do not conflate employment, residence and talent
Employment arrangements, residence matters and talent programmes may be handled by different authorities and procedures. Confirm your primary purpose before using the corresponding public page.
