ttps.hk — Hong Kong Top Talent Pass Scheme

ttps.hk is an independently run Hong Kong information site edited by Top Talent Pass Guide Editorial. It covers one subject: how the Hong Kong Top Talent Pass Scheme works, how to apply and extend, how family members are handled, and the public rules a talent meets after arrival in MPF, healthcare and insurance, tax residency and the seven-year route to permanent residence. The scope includes Categories A, B and C and the eligible-university list, the 2023–2026 timeline of changes, application steps and fees, extension on employment or business proof and the six-year top-tier stream, dependants and schooling, MPF enrolment and exemptions, public hospital fees and the Voluntary Health Insurance Scheme, underwriting and residence requirements for life and medical insurance, Hong Kong salaries tax, the Mainland 183-day rule and the Mainland–Hong Kong tax Arrangement, and permanent residence, the Home Return Permit and the HKSAR passport.

The site does not cover full application guidance for the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme, the Admission Scheme for Mainland Talents and Professionals or the General Employment Policy, nor wealth planning, insurance product comparisons or tax structuring, and it handles no applications. Sources are limited to publicly verifiable documents: Immigration Department scheme pages, FAQs and guidebooks, Labour and Welfare Bureau and Government press releases, Legislative Council replies and panel papers, and public pages of the Inland Revenue Department, MPFA, Hospital Authority, Education Bureau, the VHIS Office and Mainland tax authorities. Every page carries an update date and sources; figures carry currency, date and origin, and where a figure cannot be verified the page describes the mechanism and defers to the latest official document.

The site is not an immigration consultant, law firm, insurer or licensed insurance intermediary. Nothing here is immigration, legal, tax or insurance advice; no approval or tax outcome is promised; nothing is sold; no referrals are made; and no sales activity is carried on in Mainland China. Corrections and additional material can be sent through the site's message form.

Regulators and industry bodies cited on this site

Our material relies on regulations, guidelines and statistics published by the bodies below, cited page by page with dates. This site has no affiliation with, authorisation from, or endorsement by any of them.

Editorial principles

  1. We compile only public material from insurers, banks, regulators and official statistics, citing source and date per item; where the source is silent, we do not infer.
  2. We separate guaranteed from non-guaranteed, fact from opinion, regulation from practice; illustrations, back-tests and past performance do not indicate future results.
  3. We do not recommend products or promise returns, approvals or tax outcomes; personalised advice is the responsibility of licensed or exempt institutions and their appointed representatives.
  4. Cross-border content states the applicable jurisdiction; readers should obtain advice in their own jurisdiction.
  5. If you spot an error or outdated figure, tell us via the contact page; corrections are dated.

Editorial policy

Every article follows one process: define a single question, consult public documents from regulators, insurers and official statistics and record each source with its date, then have a second editor cross-check figures, terminology and the version of the rules cited. Pages are dated when updated. Guaranteed and non-guaranteed items, and facts and opinions, are labelled separately; nothing is inferred where sources are silent.
