The DAB announced on Monday it would set up an office to offer more assistance to talent who have moved to Hong Kong.

Veteran DAB member Starry Lee said the office would also help the city's ambitions to attract more talented professionals from around the world.

"We believe that, as a party in Hong Kong, we have a relatively wide network in our community, we can play a more active role in supporting talent. Therefore, we would like to set up a talent hub, it is a platform, not only an office," she said.

Lee believes getting the word out about the new office would not be difficult.

"Based on my understanding, they have different WeChat groups to exchange information... I believe this information will be easily spread among their group."

Ahead of the Policy Address on Wednesday, the DAB suggested the government set up a special student visa for the children of those who have come to Hong Kong on various talent schemes.

It is among the 12 suggestions it made to make the city more attractive for global talent.

The DAB said the visas could offer a buffer for children to complete their studies even when their parents fail to get their visas renewed.

"Their children are now in our Hong Kong education system. If you ask a student to leave immediately in the middle of the term, it will not be good for the talent, and it would pass a very bad message to those who want to come to Hong Kong," said Lee.

"Therefore we would like to suggest at least for that term or if possible, why not for the whole year to let those students to finish their studies, and then their parents can make appropriate decisions to settle their children. Because we all know that whether or not they will stay in Hong Kong, their children's education is one of the very important concerns."
