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: Hotel line jobs only via the Labour Department's import scheme: 4-week local test, median wage, 2 local staff per import; managers get a General Employment Policy visa.
Watch for: Since 16 June 2026 kitchen and table-service jobs need a 6-week local test and 3 local staff per import; the hotel applies, you cannot apply yourself.
Official source: Labour Department: Enhanced Supplementary Labour Scheme. Checked November 2026.
What the job usually comes with in Hong Kong
Usual for Hong Kong, varies by employer. Checked November 2026.
| Housing | Not for local hires; imported line staff are housed by the hotel, at most 20% of pay deducted (scheme rule) |
|---|---|
| Meals | Staff canteen or duty meals common; free for imported workers when provided (scheme rule) |
| Flights | None for local hires; imported workers get free flights both ways (scheme rule); managers negotiate |
| Service charge | Varies by hotel; ask how the service charge is shared before you accept |
| Contract | Imported workers: 24 months at most, then 7+ days home leave and a new approval (scheme rule) |
| Leave | 7 days a year, rising to 14 after 9 years, plus 15 statutory holidays (by law) |
| Income tax | 0% up to HKD 145,000 a year (about USD 18,600), then 2% to 17%; pension (MPF) 5%, max HKD 1,500 a month |
Senior staff often get more than line staff, for example a single room or a yearly home flight. Ask the employer what the job includes before you accept.
