Can I work in Hong Kong?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Employment visa (General Employment Policy): a degree and a job offer at market pay for a job locals cannot readily fill; no quota, no sector limit; about 4 weeks.
Before you apply: Dealing, advising and senior roles usually need a regulator's licence or approval, which checks your honesty, skills and finances. Ask if your job does.
Watch for: Nationals of Afghanistan, Cuba and North Korea are excluded; residents of mainland China use a separate scheme.
Official source: Immigration Department: General Employment Policy. Checked November 2026.
