Hong Kong Professionals Scheme (ASMTP) Guide
Public overview of the employer-sponsored route for Mainland professionals who already have a Hong Kong role or are evaluating whether the role can support a filing.
When ASMTP is usually relevant
ASMTP is commonly considered when a Mainland applicant already has a Hong Kong employer role and needs to assess whether the position, employer background, and personal profile can be filed consistently.
What usually needs to line up
- The role description, salary, and business need should fit the employer narrative.
- The applicant background should make sense for the proposed position.
- Employer support documents and applicant identity documents should be ready together rather than piecemeal.
Typical process
- Confirm employer readiness and role suitability.
- Prepare applicant and employer evidence together.
- Submit the online filing and respond to any follow-up request.
- Complete visa issuance and landing formalities after approval.
