Working in Hong Kong

Hong Kong offers extensive opportunities in hotels, restaurants, retail, finance, technology, healthcare and professional services. Hospitality jobs are concentrated on Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, Lantau and the New Territories. The culture blends Cantonese traditions with international influences; English is widely used in business, while Cantonese is valuable for customer-facing work. Life is fast-paced, highly connected and convenient, with excellent public transport, compact urban districts, beaches, hiking trails and diverse food. Rents can be high, so budgeting and choosing accommodation near an MTR line are important. Foreign workers generally need an approved job offer and employment visa before starting work; employers usually support the application. Dependants may qualify for visas under relevant schemes. New arrivals should arrange housing, a bank account, insurance and an identity card after arrival.
