Visa information
Hong Kong maintains an open and liberal policy towards entry for employment. Foreigners who possess special skills, knowledge or experience of value and not readily available in Hong Kong, or who are in a position to make substantial contribution to its economy are welcome to work in Hong Kong. A prerequisite for an employment visa is a sponsor, namely the person or enterprise offering employment. It normally takes four to six weeks to process an entry-visa application. For more details, you can visit www.immd.gov.hk/ehtml/home.htm
Hong Kong ID
Under the Registration of Persons Ordinance (Cap 177, Laws of Hong Kong), all Hong Kong residents (including children over 11) require a Hong Kong ID Card. These should be carried at all times and will be required when you wish to open accounts with utility companies, banks etc. For more information on how to apply the Hong Kong ID card, visit www.smartid.gov.hk/en/
