Working in Hong Kong

Hong Kong offers strong opportunities in hospitality, tourism, finance, retail, technology, communications and international business. The city combines a fast-paced professional culture with Chinese traditions, global influences and a highly connected urban lifestyle. Residents enjoy excellent public transport, diverse restaurants, shopping, cultural events, hiking trails and nearby beaches, although housing can be expensive and living space is often limited. Most overseas professionals need an employment visa sponsored by their employer; applications generally require a confirmed offer, relevant qualifications or experience and proof that the role cannot easily be filled locally. Dependants may usually apply for dependant visas. Relocating employees should budget for rent, deposits, healthcare, transport and possible school fees. Cantonese is widely spoken, while English is common in business and hospitality. Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories each offer different commuting and lifestyle options.
