I refer to the letter by Lee Faulkner (“Investment visa rules don’t reflect reality”, August 2) concerning his comments on the Immigration Department’s assessment of his investment visa application submitted under the General Employment Policy.自存倉The Immigration Department is committed to facilitating the entry of talented people, professionals and entrepreneurs to enhance Hong Kong’s competitiveness.In general, entrepreneurs who are in a position to make a substantial contribution to the economy of Hong Kong through establishing or joining in a business may apply for entry for investment. There is no quota or sector restriction.Applicants are normally required to provide a detailed investment plan which contains details of sustainable business activities, including, for example, the amount of investment, creation of local job posts, office set-up, whether the business will bring about innovative technology and business ideas.Mr Faulkner was right that in assessing applications fo迷你倉新蒲崗 investment visas, immigration officers should not only adopt a “tick-box” approach.In fact, the department has been adopting a multifaceted approach to take into account all relevant factors and examine individual merits in evaluating the contributions that the investment may bring to the local economy, rather than imposing requirements of “rent business premises” and “hire full-time staff” in a strict sense.For cases where the applicants might not be able to meet these requirements but could provide information and documents which indicate that the investment would bring about substantial contribution to the local economy, the department would favourably consider the applications.This notwithstanding, applicants will be required to provide information to show that the proposed investment has been implemented in the subsequent application for extension of stay.I hope this information will help clear up Mr Faulkner’s doubts as to our policy.Au Ka-wang, for director of immigration迷你倉出租
