Understanding Hong Kong’s Employment Visa System
Eligibility Requirements
To work legally in Hong Kong, obtaining an employment visa is a prerequisite. Here’s a breakdown of the essential eligibility criteria:
Clean Criminal Record: Applicants must have a clean criminal background with no security objections.
Educational Background: While an undergraduate degree in a relevant field is typically preferred, equivalent technical qualifications and professional achievements are also considered.
Genuine Job Offer: A genuine job offer from a company in Hong Kong is required. The job must align with your qualifications and experience.
Skill Gap: The position should fill a skill gap that cannot be readily addressed by the local workforce.
Competitive Remuneration: The compensation package must be competitive, including appropriate salary, housing or accommodation arrangements, medical benefits, and other fringe benefits in line with Hong Kong’s market standards.
