Working in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a compact, energetic destination made up of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories, with excellent transport through the MTR, buses, ferries and taxis. Hospitality offers opportunities in luxury hotels, restaurants, bars, clubs, events and tourism, particularly for candidates with international service experience. Cantonese is widely spoken, while English is important in hotels and upscale dining. The lifestyle is fast-paced, urban and multicultural, with outstanding food, shopping, hiking, beaches and nightlife, although housing is expensive and space is limited. Overseas professionals generally need an employment visa sponsored by a Hong Kong employer under the General Employment Policy; the employer normally demonstrates a genuine position and suitable qualifications. Secure a written offer before relocating, arrange accommodation and budget for deposits, insurance and daily transport. Rules can change, so applicants should verify requirements with Hong Kong Immigration.
