Working in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a compact, energetic territory made up of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, the New Territories and numerous outlying islands. It offers strong opportunities in luxury hotels, restaurants, catering, retail, finance, technology and international business. Cantonese is widely spoken, while English is common in hospitality and professional workplaces. Life is fast-paced, highly connected and convenient, with excellent public transport, diverse food, vibrant nightlife, hiking trails and beaches. Rental housing can be expensive, so applicants should confirm accommodation, meals, transport allowances and working hours before relocating. Foreign employees generally need an employment visa sponsored by a Hong Kong employer, and the company normally supports the application. Applicants should prepare passports, qualifications, employment records and health or background documents where required. New arrivals should arrange temporary accommodation, a local bank account and an identity card after approval.
