The Quality Migrant Admission Scheme ("QMAS") is a points-based immigration system in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. It was first announced in February 2006, and began accepting applications in June of the same year; by May 2008, nearly 500 people had been admitted to residence in Hong Kong under the scheme.

Hong Kong's Quality Migrant Admission Scheme [QMAS] is a quota-based entrant scheme that aims at attracting highly skilled overseas-born individuals to settle in Hong Kong for enhancing the economic competitiveness of Hong Kong globally.1

Those successful are not required to have a valid job offer before entering into Hong Kong for settlement. All applicants under the QMAS have to fulfil a set number of requirements before they are awarded points under either of the 2 points-based tests – that is, either the Achievement-based Points Test or General Points Test.

As this is a quota-based scheme, those successful with have to compete against the other QMAS applicants for quota allocation.

Nationals of certain countries – Laos, Cuba, Afghanistan, Nepal, Vietnam, and Korea [Democratic People's Republic of] – are not eligible for the QMAS of Hong Kong.

According to official statistics by the Immigration Department of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, in 2019, as many as 874 were allotted quotas under the QMAS.2

Of these, while 845 were assessed under the General Points Test, 29 were assessed under the Achievement-based Points Test.
