The three-day **Education, Talent & Living Expo**—marketed as “Go Study in Hong Kong”—concluded at the Convention and Exhibition Centre on 17 May, having welcomed thousands of visitors exploring life in the city under visa routes such as the **Top Talent Pass Scheme (TTPS)** and **Quality Migrant Admission Scheme (QMAS)**. Over 120 exhibitors—including international schools, global movers, serviced-apartment providers, banks and insurance firms—offered newcomers on-the-spot admissions advice, housing tours and banking-account opening slots. The Immigration Department’s outreach counter issued more than 600 advance appointment tokens for ID-card registration and e-Channel enrolment, indicating sustained demand from recent arrivals.
Complementing the government’s outreach, VisaHQ provides an online concierge for individuals and HR teams navigating Hong Kong entry paths; its portal (https://www.visahq.com/hong-kong/) breaks down requirements for TTPS, QMAS and dependent visas, offers document checklists and status tracking, and can coordinate expedited submissions—streamlining the move for those inspired by the expo.
Panel discussions featured HR leaders from multinational tech firms who shared case studies on fast-tracking dependent visas and integrating spouses into the local workforce. Property agents reported that serviced-flat occupancy among expatriates has climbed to 87 per cent, with Wan Chai and Kowloon West the most in-demand districts. Organisers said proceeds after costs will be donated to Ronald McDonald House, underscoring the event’s community slant. Plans are already under way for a winter edition focused on healthcare professionals, aligned with the government’s upcoming Global Healthcare Talent Scheme. For mobility managers the expo offered a one-stop snapshot of Hong Kong’s relocation ecosystem—useful intelligence on school wait-lists, banking requirements and nascent public-sector support programmes.
