2. What other categories of immigration are there?

The Immigration Department operates other schemes or programmes by which persons may be admitted to Hong Kong to live and work. These include the Capital Investment Entrant Scheme and the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme. The requirements for qualification under these schemes are set out clearly on the website of the Immigration Department at www.immd.gov.hk/ehtml/hkvisas.htm . The schemes are operated under the general discretion that is held by the Director of Immigration under section 11 of the Immigration Ordinance .
