PRIVATE SECRETARY
I note your Thank you for your letter of 18 October 1990. comments regarding the
the effect of
to the points allocated employees of British firms under the British Nationality (Hong Kong) (Selection Scheme) Order.
Corporate members of the Chamber tell me that on the basis of the criteria adopted for allocating points in the scheme many key employees will not obtain passports.
doubt no
There is
that these individuals will make other arrangements unless we can do something to help them.
The United States has recognised the difficulties faced by U.S. companies in Hong Kong in keeping key employees. It has created a new three year programme providing 12,000 additional immigrant visas annually to key employees of certain U.S. businesses in Hong Kong, who are offered employment in the U.S. by their employers. The scheme extends the validity of the immigrant visas to 1 January 2002. In this way key employees of U.S. companies are encouraged to remain in Hong Kong until some years past 1997.
Many other countries have also stepped in to offer packages to These key employees of companies with links to those countries. countries include France, Germany, The Netherlands, Italy and Denmark.
Please therefore reconsider an approved Secondment Scheme for British companies in Hong Kong.
Yours sincerely
