What's On

Join us on 11 November for an engaging talk with Benson Kwok, Director of Immigration, as he unveils the Government’s strategies to enhance travel convenience for tourists, business visitors and Hong Kong residents and facilitate the admission of talent.

Smooth, efficient and courteous immigration services at air, sea and land control points ensure that tourists and businesspeople have a pleasant and welcoming first impression of Hong Kong. The Immigration Department (ImmD) is pivotal in this mission.

To position Hong Kong as an international talent hub, ImmD has actively promoted and enhanced various talent admission schemes and has streamlined application processes through electronic means.

Director Kwok will delve into these critical issues and outline how ImmD contributes to the Government’s efforts to solidify the city’s position as a leading global hub for international trade and tourism.

Don’t miss this precious opportunity to engage directly with Director Kwok, share your perspectives, and contribute to the ongoing dialogue on enhancing our public services. Spaces are limited, so reserve your seat today!
