Working in Hong Kong

Hong Kong offers many opportunities in hotels, restaurants, retail, finance, logistics, technology, healthcare and professional services. Hospitality jobs are concentrated in Central, Tsim Sha Tsui, Causeway Bay, the airport and resort areas. The culture is fast-paced and international, blending Cantonese traditions, British influences and modern city life. Residents enjoy excellent public transport, diverse food, shopping, hiking trails and beaches, although housing is expensive and living space can be limited. Foreign nationals generally need a suitable employment visa sponsored by an employer before starting work; employers usually demonstrate that the role is genuine and that the applicant has relevant qualifications or experience.
