On May 9, the application list for the 2024 Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Overseas Chinese Student Joint Entrance Examination was released!
According to the list of applicants who have been announced, the number of candidates who have taken the joint entrance examination and passed the qualification review this year has reached 10,320! What is the concept of this number? If we look at the number of applicants for last year's JAE, there were 7,238, compared to a 43% increase in the number of applicants this year. Seeing this, there may be parents who want to apply for Hong Kong identity for their children, and parents who take the joint entrance examination are worried, the number of joint entrance examinations is rising, is it still meaningful to take Hong Kong identity now?
Yes!
Although the number of exams for the joint entrance examination is rising, what AI Jun has to say is that compared with the number of applicants for the college entrance examination in the mainland, this is only a "drop in the ocean......
According to relevant media data, the number of applicants for the mainland college entrance examination this year has reached 13.53 million.
Moreover, at present, there are more than 400 colleges and universities in the mainland participating in the joint entrance examination, and many of them are 985/211 colleges and universities.
In addition, the admission score requirement for admission to Mainland universities through the Joint Entrance Examination will also be lower.
Since the joint entrance examination is less competitive, the exam questions are simple, and there are more advantages in further education, how can you apply for the joint entrance examination for overseas Chinese students from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan?
According to the application requirements listed in the Admission Guide:
"Candidates from Hong Kong and Macao must have (1) a Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Residents or a Residence Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Residents and (2) a Hong Kong or Macao Resident Identity Card."
In other words, in addition to holding a Hong Kong Identity Card, you must also hold a Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Residents or a Residence Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Residents (Home Return Permit) to meet the registration requirements.
In order to obtain a Home Return Permit, you need to obtain Hong Kong permanent residence status (except for One-way Permit). As we all know, when applying for a high-level talent pass and gifted talent to obtain Hong Kong status, you will get Hong Kong resident status at the beginning, and you need to live in the country for 7 years before you can apply for permanent residence. This means that if parents want their children to take the joint entrance examination to enter mainland universities, they must plan their time in advance to ensure that their children can get permanent residence status before the second semester of the third year of high school.
Some friends complained, now the review cycle of the Hong Kong Quality Talent Program is relatively slow, and an application has to wait for almost a year, is there any way to quickly get Hong Kong status to accumulate 7 years of permanent residence? Of course there is, and that's the TTP program.
As long as you meet one of the following requirements, you can apply for the TTPS, and you can get your Hong Kong identity within 1 month at the earliest!
Category A: Applicants with an annual income of HK$2.5 million or above, or its equivalent in foreign currency, in the year immediately preceding the date of application.
Category B: Applicants who have obtained a bachelor's degree from an eligible university and have accumulated at least three years' working experience in the five years immediately preceding the date of application.
Category C: Applicants who have obtained a bachelor's degree from an eligible university with less than three years' working experience in the five years immediately preceding the date of application.
If you also want to quickly get a Hong Kong identity through the high-talent program, so that your children can accumulate 7 years of permanent residence earlier, you can come to AI Jun for help~
