Indians Inclined Towards Migrating To Hong Kong

10 Mar 2011

The difficult immigration policies of countries like USA & UK have made Indians look at other avenues for immigration. Hong Kong has become a latest favourite in this category. The country currently also has large Indian community. Now more people are looking for Hong Kong as a country for permanent settlement.

As of now, Sikh, Parsis & other South Asians have influenced the Hong Kong society. Indians have been a pioneer in formation of some of the landmark ventures of Hong Kong like the University of Hong Kong and HSBC.

People wishing to migrate and settle in Hong Kong have an option of applying for Quality Migrant Admission Scheme (QMAS); a scheme made to attract talented pool from worldwide to enter and stay in Hong Kong. To work in Hong Kong under this, you need to have proficiency in English or Chinese (Putonghua or Cantonese). Often Indians back out with a notion that they don’t know Chinese and hence won’t be able to adjust well in Hong Kong. This is just like looking on just 1 side of coin. To work in a country which has multinationals and people working from varied cultures & languages; the language readily accepted in English. So if you know English and are confident of your working skills you need not be sceptical about not knowing Chinese.

Apart from language, a first degree from a recognized university or a tertiary education institution is required.
