Starting from June 30th, the government will launch a talent admission scheme, targeting eight types of designated technical professions facing acute manpower shortages.
Up to 10,000 overseas professionals can apply for work visas under the scheme.
The eight types of jobs include nurses, aircraft maintenance workers, IT specialists, and lift and elevator technicians.
Applicants must be between 18 and 40 years old. They have to meet required academic qualifications and seniority. They should also secure a job offer by a local company before applying, with salaries on par with local market levels.
Successful applicants will be given a two- to three-year initial visa. While renewals are allowed, candidates cannot switch jobs. The renewal's validity period is capped at three years.
A government spokesman said the eight industries are expected to face severe manpower shortages in the next five years, and local training would not fill the gap in time.
