Working in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a compact, energetic destination with strong opportunities in hotels, restaurants, finance, retail, technology and international business. Its hospitality sector serves local residents, business travellers and visitors from around the world, creating demand for skilled chefs and experienced service professionals. Cantonese is the main local language, while English is widely used in hotels and workplaces; Mandarin is also valuable. Life is fast-paced, highly urban and convenient, with excellent public transport, diverse food, hiking trails, beaches and vibrant cultural districts. Accommodation can be expensive, especially on Hong Kong Island and in Kowloon, so many workers share flats or live in the New Territories. Foreign employees generally need an approved employment visa sponsored by their employer before starting work. The employer usually supports the application, but the candidate must provide qualifications, experience and passport documentation. Check current immigration rules and contract benefits before relocating.
