Fu returned to compete in professional snooker tournaments at the [[2022 World Snooker Championship]], marking the first event since the 2020 Welsh Open in which he played in an event on the main tour. He lost in the first round of qualifying, being defeated in a deciding frame by [[Ian Burns (snooker player)|Ian Burns]]. As travel restrictions eased in Hong Kong, Fu proceeded to compete in the subsequent [[2022-23 snooker season|2022-23 season]] where he did not top his group in the opening event, the [[2022 Championship League (ranking)|2022 Championship League]]. He had managed to qualify for the [[2022 European Masters (2022–23 season)|2022 European Masters]] and reached the third round, consequently as a result of a bye due to his opponent in the second round not getting a visa, where he lost 5-3 to [[Farakh Ajaib]]. He did not qualify for the subsequent [[2022 British Open]] or the [[2022 Northern Ireland Open]], but was invited to compete as a local wildcard in the [[2022 Hong Kong Masters]], where he reached the final. In his semi-final match against [[John Higgins]], he compiled his fifth maximum break in the deciding frame.
