Many parents are confused about their children's education path after obtaining Hong Kong identity.

Next, we will follow Xiaoxing’s footsteps and analyze in detail the path to further education for children after obtaining Hong Kong identity to help you avoid detours!

Studying locally/overseas

Regardless of whether parents obtain Hong Kong status through the Talent Entry Scheme, the Hong Kong High-end Talent Pass Scheme or the Hong Kong Mainland Talent Admission Scheme, their children and spouses have the opportunity to obtain Hong Kong status as dependents at the same time.

Once a child obtains Hong Kong status, regardless of whether he or she is a permanent resident of Hong Kong, he or she will be regarded as a local student in Hong Kong and enjoy the same educational benefits as local students in Hong Kong.

If parents plan for their children to study at a local or overseas university in Hong Kong, then the difference between Hong Kong permanent resident status and Hong Kong non-permanent resident status is not obvious.

Studying in Mainland China

After obtaining Hong Kong identity, if parents want their children to return to the mainland to attend college, there will be a significant difference between the two identities.

★Hong Kong non-permanent resident status

Students who hold non-permanent resident status in Hong Kong usually have two pathways for further study:

1. Return to the Mainland to take the traditional college entrance examination as a Mainlander;

2. Take the DSE exam as a local student in Hong Kong and apply for local universities in Hong Kong or overseas universities with DSE scores.

★Hong Kong Permanent Resident Status + No Home Return Permit

Candidates who hold Hong Kong permanent resident status but do not have a return permit, like candidates holding Hong Kong non-permanent resident status, can take the traditional college entrance examination in the mainland. They can also choose to pass the DSE results and apply for local or foreign universities in Hong Kong.

★Hong Kong Permanent Resident Status + Home Return Permit

Candidates holding Hong Kong permanent resident status and return permit will have more and more options for further studies!

√You can choose local or overseas universities in Hong Kong based on your DSE scores, or you can apply to 130 mainland universities without taking the exam, including Tsinghua University, Peking University, Fudan University and other prestigious universities.

√You can take part in the Joint Entrance Examination for Overseas Chinese Students held in the Mainland, overtake in corners, and get admitted to prestigious 211 and 985 schools with lower difficulty and lower scores.

How to plan

If parents want their children to go back to the mainland to attend college, they need to meet the following conditions:

After obtaining Hong Kong identity, you need to live in Hong Kong for 7 years, then obtain Hong Kong permanent resident status, and then apply for a return permit.

Only in this way can the child enter a prestigious mainland school without taking the test based on DSE scores; or he can take the joint examination for overseas Chinese students, overtake in a corner, and get admitted to a double first-class prestigious school with a low score!
