Immigration & Global Mobility

We advise individuals and employers on the full range of visa applications: Employment, Investment, the Top Talent Pass Scheme, the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme, Dependant, Student, Foreign Domestic Helper, and prolonged visitor visas. We act for applicants seeking verification of eligibility for permanent identity cards, and for those whose right of abode is in question.

Most visa work is straightforward and finishes at the Immigration Department; a meaningful portion of our practice is what happens when it does not. We recognise that unforeseen circumstances, such as a prolonged absence from Hong Kong due to family or business needs, can suddenly complicate an otherwise clear path to residency. Our team is experienced in proactively identifying the implications of life's shifts before they become hurdles, advising on preventive steps to protect your status. If a problem has already arisen, we focus on pragmatic, effective solutions to get your transition back on track.

When an application is refused, when a deportation order is made, or when a non-refoulement claim is in issue, the matter passes from administrative to legal. We prepare appeals and act in judicial review. The firm has carried immigration cases through the Court of First Instance, the Court of Appeal and the Court of Final Appeal. Our experience in contentious immigration is what distinguishes the practice; clients with straightforward applications benefit from the same standard of preparation.
