Working in Hong Kong

The culture combines Chinese traditions, international influences and a fast-paced, highly efficient working style. Life is convenient, safe and well connected by MTR, buses and ferries, though accommodation is expensive and living space can be limited. Popular leisure options include hiking, beaches, food markets, islands and a vibrant arts and nightlife scene. Overseas candidates generally need an employer-sponsored employment visa under the General Employment Policy, with proof of qualifications, relevant experience, a genuine job offer and appropriate salary. The employer normally supports the application. British nationals and some other visitors may enter visa-free for short stays, but visitors cannot work.
