This is an illustrative scenario: the people and details are for explanation only and are not a real client case. Every family’s outcome depends on its background and the policies in force at the time.
Background
Ms Liu (pseudonym), Shanghai, accountant, 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
- Assessment and scoring (1–2 weeks): We assess your competitiveness under the points tests.
- Prepare and submit (2–4 weeks): Gather evidence of your education, work and achievements.
- Selection and approval (Usually about 6–9 months): Through periodic selection and approval; meeting the threshold does not guarantee selection.
- Arrival and extensions (Per your visa period): After arriving, apply for extensions when the conditions are met.
