Sources and metric definitions

  • The 2015 records come from Appendix 5 of the Immigration Department Annual Report 2017 and report visas or entry permits issued, or QMAS quotas allotted.
  • The 2016–2025 records come from Immigration Department open-data CSV files; applications received and approved or selected outcomes remain separate.
  • Extension of stay applications received and approved for 2020–2025 come from ImmD annual review annexes and remain separate from first-entry applications.
  • First-quarter 2026 figures come from the ImmD visa statistics page and cover January through March only.
  • Approved VEPIC applications for 2020–2025 come from ImmD open data; this is not the number of permanent identity cards issued.
  • Counts of talent-scheme entrants who eventually acquired the right of abode come from official Legislative Council replies and are classified by status when applying for right of abode.
  • Chinese naturalisation, renunciation and restoration figures for 2020–2025 are applications received only. The open datasets do not provide annual approvals or refusals for this period, so no approval rate is calculated.
  • N/A means no verified public figure exists in this offline dataset; it does not mean zero. Approvals in a year may relate to applications received in another year.
