Working in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a compact, international city and a major centre for hospitality, finance, retail, technology, media and professional services. Opportunities are particularly strong in hotels, tourism, luxury retail, communications, events and corporate marketing. Cantonese is widely spoken, while English is common in business and Mandarin is increasingly useful. The lifestyle combines dense urban neighbourhoods, excellent public transport, international dining and shopping with beaches, hiking trails and outlying islands. Housing is expensive, especially on Hong Kong Island and in Kowloon, so many newcomers share apartments or live farther from central districts. Most foreign professionals require an employment visa, normally sponsored by the employer; applicants generally need a confirmed role and relevant qualifications or experience. Dependants may be eligible for dependant visas. Relocation planning should include housing, healthcare, tax, banking and school arrangements. Hong Kong’s humid summers, busy pace and long commutes are important lifestyle considerations.
