Working in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a busy, international city with strong opportunities in hotels, restaurants, retail, finance, technology and tourism. Hospitality jobs are concentrated around Central, Tsim Sha Tsui, Causeway Bay, the airport and resort areas. The culture blends Cantonese traditions with international influences; politeness, punctuality and respect for hierarchy are valued at work. Hong Kong offers excellent public transport, diverse food, shopping, hiking and lively neighbourhoods, although housing can be expensive and space is limited. Overseas employees generally need an appropriate work visa, commonly sponsored by the employer, and should not begin work before approval. Employers may request proof of qualifications, experience and a valid health or identity document. New arrivals should budget carefully for rent, deposits, transport and daily expenses, and confirm accommodation, benefits, working hours and visa support before accepting an offer.
