The Macao Special Administrative Region Government has launched the 3rd Round of Talent Recruitment Programmes, which will run from 2 December 2025 to 1 December 2026. The Programmes continue to accept applications globally under nine programmes targeting three talent categories, namely: the High-End Talents Programme, four Outstanding Talent Programmes and four Advanced Professionals Programmes. These programmes are aligned with the following key industries: Big Health, High-Tech, Modern Finance, as well as Cultural, Sports and Other Industries.
To facilitate public understanding of the details and application procedures for the 3rd Round of Talent Recruitment Programmes, the Talent Development Committee is organising briefing sessions on the programmes. Individuals from around the world who are interested in applying for the programmes are welcome to register and participate in person or virtually.
The briefing sessions focus on introducing the application procedures, required documentation and key points to note regarding the programmes, including an explanation of how applicants can utilise the upgraded functions of the e-application platform to better understand what documents are required for submission, thereby improving the accuracy of their applications. The sessions also introduce the streamlined and fully digitalised approval process, which enable applicants to track the progress of their applications at any time.
