Working in Hong Kong

Hong Kong offers extensive opportunities in hotels, restaurants, retail, finance, technology, logistics and professional services. Hospitality work is concentrated around Central, Tsim Sha Tsui, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and major resorts. The culture blends Cantonese traditions with international influences; politeness, punctuality and efficient service are highly valued. Life is energetic and convenient, with excellent public transport, diverse food, shopping, hiking and beaches, though housing can be expensive and space is limited. Foreign workers normally need an approved employment visa before starting work, usually sponsored by the employer under the General Employment Policy. Applicants should confirm salary, accommodation, insurance, working hours and visa support in writing. Hong Kong’s humid summers, busy urban environment and high living costs should be considered when planning relocation.
