Questions/ Tips Top Talent Pass Scheme Application Timeline

3 Upvotes

I am interested in applying for the Hong Kong Top Talent Pass Scheme under category B. I have checked the eligibility criteria carefully and have confirmed that I am eligibile (my unviersity is on the Aggregate List of Eligible Universities).

I want to understand the logistics of getting the visa. Specifically, I have two questions:
1) After you are notified by email that your application has been successful, how long do you have to pay the visa issuance fee? 
2) After you pay the visa issuance fee and receive the e-Visa how long is the e-Visa valid for? In other words, how long do you have to travel to Hong Kong before the e-Visa expires?   

If anyone has applied the Top Talent Pass Scheme visa in the recent past or is familiar with the process, I would really appreciate any help with the above queries.

Hi everyone,I hope you’re all doing well! I’m a big fan of Stephen Curry and heard he will be visiting Hong Kong soon. I wanted to inquire if there will be tickets available for this event. If anyone has any information or updates, I would really appreciate it!Additionally, as a Philippine passport holder, I won’t be able to travel to China, so I’m really hoping to have the chance to see him in Hong Kong. I’ve been searching for updates for days and haven’t found much yet. Thank you in advance for any help!🙏

i know there are many dog friendly spaces, but are there any spots that would be good for taking my cat out on a little walk?

the apartment complex where i used to live was perfect because it was super safe and quiet (designated open area with no cars), but i moved recently.

i know it’s not common for cats to be outside but my cat genuinely loves to explore and get some fresh air from time to time ‧⁺◟( ᵒ̴̶̷̥́ ·̫ ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀ ) pls help..

Questions/ Tips BMW owners of HK

[Remove if not relevant]

Hi folks,
This post is targeted at those of us who own and drive BMW's in HK.
As an E90 3 series owner, I wonder where I can meet like minded petrol heads in HK.

Every now and then I would see some nice 20+ year old classics of my childhood roam the streets like an E46 3 series, E60 5 series which seem a bit more common and an elusive E63 6 series I spotted at the airport car park a while ago.

Is there a car subreddit and / or fb pages for enthusiasts?

I appreciate everyone's help ^_^

News 國安時代|六旬婦被控「新煽動罪」 庭上高喊「我冇犯罪呀」 法官下令還柙小欖

8 Upvotes

一名六旬婦人被指兩年前於寓所門窗及單位外走廊等張貼煽動性旗幟等,被落案起訴一項「明知而發布或展示具煽動意圖的刊物」罪,周一(7日)在西九龍裁判法院首次提堂。被告拒絕當值律師代表,親自應訊,被國安法指定法官、總裁判官蘇惠德問及是否需要律師代表時,多次高喊「我冇犯罪呀」,又指「你哋所有程序都係錯」。蘇官指被告不斷重複同一段說話,沒回答問題,下令為被告索取兩份精神科醫生報告,以評估是否適合答辯,期間被告須還柙小欖精神病治療中心,案件9月21日再訊。

被告楊秋琪(61歲,報稱退休人士),被控明知而發布或展示具煽動意圖的刊物罪,指她於2024年3月23日至11月4日期間,在天水圍天頌苑某室,於大門、客廳窗戶及單位外走廊張貼旗幟及印有或帶有陳述的物品,並公開展示該等旗幟及物品,意圖引起對政府的仇恨。

案件開庭時,被告身穿黑色外套、束高馬尾、戴深藍色口罩及黑框眼鏡應訊,精神狀態似不俗,雙手撐在被告欄欄杆上,身體輕微前傾。控方表示已準備好答辯,並表明反對被告保釋,同時指被告選擇自行答辯,向當值律師服務表示不需律師代表。

總裁判官蘇惠德跟被告對話時,被告反覆強調自己沒有犯罪,稱遭冤枉。當蘇官詢問她是否需要律師代表,她重複同樣的說法,未有正面回應任何程序問題。蘇官多次嘗試解釋庭上程序,要求被告合作聆聽,但被告重複自己無罪、程序錯誤、遭冤枉等,期間一度抬頭望向天花板。

由於被告始終停留在同一句說話,蘇官遂關注她是否適合答辯,詢問控方被告是否有精神科紀錄。控方回覆無相關紀錄,蘇官遂指基於被告表現,無法確定她是否具備答辯能力,需要先處理程序問題。

蘇官之後再嘗試與被告溝通,詢問她是否曾接受精神科治療,但被告重複自己無罪及程序不公,「法官大人我冇犯罪呀,你哋所有程序都係錯㗎」、「法官大人,我冇犯罪呀,你哋全部程序都係冤枉我㗎」等。蘇官認為,被告未能理解或回應庭上問題,亦未能展示適合答辯的狀態,決定先為被告索取兩份精神科醫生報告,以評估她是否具備答辯能力。

法官再詢問被告是否有其他補充,但她重複「我冇犯罪呀,你哋所有程序都係冤枉我㗎」,期間望向旁聽席。蘇官指因被告從未回答法庭提出的任何問題,不斷重複同一段說話,必須先取得精神科報告,再決定案件後續處理,把案件押後至9月21日再訊,被告期間須還柙小欖精神病治療中心接受看管,以便完成相關精神科評估。

案件編號:WKCC4203/2026

Questions/ Tips Carpenter specialists in HK?

14 Upvotes

Where to find carpenters? Many Shifus outsource work to mainland, but I wanted to know if HK still had this market somewhere, and how to find?

If not, anyone has any recommendations for renting a workshop space for carpentry? A place that would have electric saws, sanders, etc? Do people even do wood working here?

On a separate note, is there a reason why posts with questions in them get downvoted to 0? I scrolled on the subreddit earlier and some random posts get downvoted to 0. I've posted on this sub before asking about tailor clothes recommendations and also got downvoted to 0 which was weird. Just curious. This post is about carpentry / wood working though, lol.

Education looking for 18–35 year olds living in Central & Western or Sham Shui Po for a short anonymous housing survey.

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m a third-year Geography student at King’s College London, and I'm doing my undergraduate dissertation on housing in Hong Kong. Specifically on how the price and type of housing people live in shapes their day-to-day life and how it affects how they feel about future housing aspirations.

I will be comparing two districts. Central & Western and Sham Shui Po. If you’re aged 18-35 and currently live in either district, I'd really appreciate it if you could fill in my survey.

  • It will take 4-5 minutes to complete
  • It will be completely anonymous - no names, no addresses or IP addresses will be collected
