(2) Candidates may be invited to attend a translation test, which is tentatively scheduled for January 2025 in Hong Kong. Subject to their passing the translation test, they will be selected for an interpretation test and interview. As it takes time to process all applications, an invitation to the translation trade test does not imply that an applicant’s qualifications meet the entry requirements.

A pass result in the Basic Law and National Security Law Test (BLNST) is an entry requirement for all civil service jobs. Only those candidates who have passed the BLNST will be considered for appointment. For candidates who have not taken the relevant BLNST or have not attained a pass result in the relevant BLNST at the time of application, they may still apply for the job and arrangements will be made for them to take the relevant BLNST during the recruitment process.
(4) Candidates are required to pass both BLNST and translation test before they will be invited for a selection interview comprising an English typing speed test, Putonghua Examination and interpretation test.]
