The Quality Migrant Admission Scheme (QMAS) aims to attract highly skilled or talented people with a good educational background to settle in Hong Kong, with a view to enhancing Hong Kong's competitiveness in the global market.
For QMAS applicants, employer reference letters are essential materials. In the past, when the online application was not carried out, the Hong Kong government would also give the opportunity to replenish the materials, and after the online application was changed, it would basically not be reminded to supplement the materials.
Therefore, before submitting your application, it is recommended that you prepare a letter of recommendation, and it is recommended that applicants provide a letter of recommendation for each period of work experience, because the Hong Kong government attaches great importance to the evaluation of your abilities from a third-party perspective.
So what kind of person is suitable to choose as your referee? Industry experts, association/company leaders, colleagues from top to bottom, etc. can all be your referees.
In addition, when writing a letter of recommendation, it is important to complete the writing from the following sections:
Part 1: Explain the relationship between the referee and the applicant, and briefly explain the size of the company's background;
Part 2: If the applicant has multiple positions in a company, the start and end time of each position needs to be clearly written, not just the last one;
Part 3: Achievements, detailing achievements and specialties in a certain area through real cases. The recognition of the application's professional ability, communication ability, learning ability, and innovation ability is presented to the Hong Kong government with a convincing explanation;
Part IV: The referee's outlook on the applicant's contribution to Hong Kong;
Part 5: Put it on the company's letterhead paper to print, and the recommender signs, of course, it is better to have a seal;
Compared with fixed documents such as personal documents and academic certificates, employer recommendation letters have a lot of room for optimization and polishing, so they are the key materials to really open the gap, so you must prepare the materials well.
2024 will be the last year of the QMAS without quota, so if you want to apply, please seize the last few months.
