A professional who didn’t qualify for TTPS applies under QMAS

Background

Ms Liu, an accountant in Shanghai, applied with her husband and one child. Her income was below TTPS Category A and her university was not on the list.

Main concern

She was unsure whether she would score enough under QMAS.

Our approach

We assessed each criterion of the General Points Test — she met 7 of the 12 — and strengthened her personal statement.

Process and outcome

She was selected and approved, and the family moved to Hong Kong.

Adviser’s comment

QMAS suits well-rounded professionals who don’t qualify for TTPS.

QMAS application process

1. Assessment and scoring (1–2 weeks): We assess your competitiveness under the points tests.
2. Prepare and submit (2–4 weeks): Gather evidence of your education, work and achievements.
3. Selection and approval (Usually about 6–9 months): Through periodic selection and approval; meeting the threshold does not guarantee selection.
4. Arrival and extensions (Per your visa period): After arriving, apply for extensions when the conditions are met.
