Work visa

[Miss Pixie]

Hi All,

Am helping to set-up a branch office of my company in Hong Kong and will be moving to HK from Tokyo in April. Because we are a SME I don't have the luxury of an HR office who will arrange the visa applications.

Would anyone be able to tell me what I need to have in place to get a visa and what kind of visa I need to get? I have a work visa for Japan, but would prefer not to use it, as I will need to continue paying taxes in Japan if I do so.

Thanks heaps for your help.

I'd hazard a guess that your work visa for Japan would not grant you permission to work in HK, in any case...

PDLM ?

Clearly it wouldn't. It seems bizarre to think that it could.

But in any case I suggest talking to professionals.

InvestHK is the HK Government unit tasked with helping overseas companies establish themselves in Hong Kong. I suggest the OP reads through the relevant bits of their very comprehensive website and then talks to them.
