Hong Kong Working Visa Application is one of Tannet's business for foreign investors in Hong Kong. Hong Kong provides great opportunities and high-quality life for investors and employers due to its prosperous economy and commerce, sound legal system and complete infrastructure. Therefore, lots of foreign people come there work or set up business.
According to the requirements of the Hong Kong Immigration Department, any person who is employed in Hong Kong is required to apply for a working visa prior to taking any paid or unpaid long-term or short-term job, unless you already have had permanent residency, right to land or unconditional stay permit of Hong Kong SAR.
In general, if you want to apply for a Hong Kong working visa, applicants must be hired by the employer at first, and have special qualifications and relevant working experience lacking in Hong Kong.
The procedures for obtaining a working visa vary depending on the applicant's background and situation. However, all applicants should apply for a working visa before working in Hong Kong.
If the overseas company wishes to internally transfer its employees to the Hong Kong office, such applications are relatively simple as long as the employee has been hired for a period of time. But if the employee is only hired overseas for months, the application may be considered as a new working visa application instead of internal transfers. So it is important to provide reasons why local employees are not qualified for this position.
Any person applying for a working visa after coming to Hong Kong or after employment in Hong Kong, then the tourist visa should be changed into working visa. The process of such applications is generally complex because the applicant needs to explain why he didn't apply for a working visa before he came to Hong Kong. Therefore, Tannet suggests you apply for a working visa before you come to Hong Kong if possible and Tannet also provides related services.
