Working in Hong Kong

Hong Kong offers strong opportunities in hospitality, finance, retail, technology, professional services, tourism and communications. Its international business environment creates demand for marketing, public relations and corporate communications professionals, particularly those with bilingual English and Chinese skills. Life is energetic and convenient, with excellent public transport, dense urban neighbourhoods, extensive dining and shopping, hiking trails, beaches and nearby islands. Housing is expensive, so many newcomers choose districts with good transport links rather than central locations. Most foreign professionals require an employment visa, normally sponsored by the hiring company, and must show suitable qualifications, relevant experience and a confirmed role. Applicants should check current Immigration Department rules before relocating. Hong Kong has a fast-paced work culture, high standards and long commuting patterns, but also offers excellent healthcare, international schools and easy regional travel.
