Mainlanders Find Workarounds to Get Their Kids Into Hong Kong Schools

A growing number of parents from the Chinese mainland are using Hong Kong’s talent visa and post-graduate study schemes as shortcuts to bring their children to the special administrative region as dependents, giving the kids rights to enter Hong Kong schools.

Dependent visas are issued to spouses and minors of people who come to study and live in Hong Kong. Upon receiving the visa, the children can enjoy the same treatment in terms of education as Hong Kong residents.
