Hong Kong Jobs and Visas

If you want to work in Hong Kong will need a work visa. The company that will employ you will need to complete the necessary paperwork to sponsor you.

Your company will have to justify the need to employ a non-local person to do the job. And while there are no official rules, as a new employee, you better have an undergraduate or graduate degree and a minimum of 2 years work experience. Approval is also easier if the annual salary package is more than HK$240,000 annually. Many people earning less than this are actually being hired and granted visas.

Working and Living in Hong Kong

Once you are employed please keep in mind that your visa is only valid with your sponsoring employer. Thus if one day you found a better offer and decide to change jobs, you need to inform immigration, submit the necessary paperwork and receive approval for the change of sponsorship before you commence work with the new employer.

Hong Kong Job processing time can take between 4-6 weeks. Nevertheless you may come to Hong Kong on a visitor’s visa and then apply for a work visa.

The relevant Hong Kong Job processing authority is the HK Immigration Department. Like other Hong Kong departments they usually are professional, very helpful and efficient.

If you are married and have children up to the age of 18, they will be issued with dependent visas. As dependents, they are not allowed to take up any paid or unpaid work or undertake any business activity. Otherwise dependents wanting work or business must apply to the Immigration Department for specific permission prior to taking up that activity.
