    With nearly 20 years of visa experience in Hong Kong, and a near-100% success record for both Hong Kong working visas and Hong Kong investment visas, we are well positioned to maximise your chance of a successful Hong Kong visa application. See below for more information about how we can help with working visa applications.

    We work proactively with you and the Immigration Department to ensure the information required by the Immigration Department is clear to the applicant, and that the process is not unnecessarily delayed on either side.

    Hong Kong Work Visas

    All non-Hong Kong residents who want to work, either as an employee or as an investor in a company in Hong Kong, will require either a work visa through employment or an investment visa as an entrepreneur, e.g. via ownership of a Hong Kong company. When considering an application for a working visa in HK, the Immigration Department will consider three main factors:

    Three Main Factors in Visa Application:

    1
    Each application needs a Hong Kong company as sponsor of the visa application.

    The Immigration Department will consider what benefits the sponsoring company brings to the Hong Kong economy in terms of:

    • Employment of local staff and introduction of skills,
    • Knowledge
    • Experience to Hong Kong
    2
    How important the proposed applicant is to the business.

    Do they have…

    • Special skills
    • Qualifications and experience (including skills related to the parent company)
    3
    Whether the position can be reasonably filled by a local person instead of a foreigner.
    • Possesses particular knowledge, skill and experience in their field.
    • Is professionally qualified.
    • Has specialised knowledge necessary for the company’s growth in Hong Kong (and thereby enhances the opportunity to create more local jobs).
    • Has skills and knowledge which can be transferred to local employees.

    Period on Under Review

    The time taken to obtain approval of a Hong Kong work visa or Hong Kong investment visa application depends on the timeliness and completeness of submission of supporting documents, is generally around 6 to 8 weeks.

    Upon successful completion of the application, applicants can then apply for a Hong Kong Identity Cards.
