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: Warehouse jobs only via the Labour Department's import scheme: 4-week local test, median wage (warehouse keeper HKD 14,360 a month); managers get the employment visa.
Before you apply: Driver jobs need a licence that counts in that country, and a foreign one may not carry over: Japan's truck-driver visa asks for a class 1 licence, Qatar residents sit a driving test, and Ireland's permit list asks for a CE or C1E truck licence or one it recognises.
Watch for: Airport cargo jobs and coach drivers have separate employer-run schemes; the airport scheme has 6,300 places in all.
