The deadline for submitting applications is 11.59pm on October 4 (Hong Kong time). 

     The recruitment is open to all permanent residents of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) who meet the relevant entry requirements.

     Arrangements will be made for eligible applicants to take the Joint Recruitment Examination (JRE) tentatively scheduled to be held on December 7 in Hong Kong. 

     In addition to taking the JRE, applicants for these posts will need to have obtained:

(a) Level 2 in the two language papers (Use of Chinese and Use of English) in the Common Recruitment Examination (CRE), or other results which are accepted as equivalent (details are set out on the CSB's CRE website at www.csb.gov.hk/eng/cre.html);

(b) a pass result in the Aptitude Test paper in the CRE; and

(c) a pass result in the Basic Law and National Security Law Test (BLNST) (degree/professional grades).
  
     Applicants who have not attained the requisite CRE and/or BLNST results may also apply. Arrangements will be made for them to take a designated CRE and BLNST tentatively scheduled for December 7 in Hong Kong. They must obtain the requisite results for their JRE answers to be processed.

     Applicants could also choose to attend the JRE in one of the seven cities outside Hong Kong (i.e. Beijing, Shanghai, London, New York, Toronto, Vancouver and Sydney). In addition, the CRE and BLNST (degree / professional grades) are also tentatively scheduled to be held on December 7 in these seven cities. The application period for the CRE and BLNST is the same as that of the joint recruitment exercise. Applicants may apply for the CRE and BLNST through an online application system on the CSB's website from September 14 to October 4 (Hong Kong time). The details and online application system will be available on the CSB's CRE website during the application period. Similarly, applicants who will take the CRE and BLNST outside Hong Kong have to obtain the requisite results for their JRE answers to be processed.

     Details of the joint recruitment exercise will be uploaded to the CSB's website at www.csb.gov.hk, as well as on the HKSAR Government portal (GovHK) at www.gov.hk from this Saturday. For the recruitment of AO, relevant information will also be available on a dedicated website at www.ao-recruitment.gov.hk.
