Posted in Employment Visas, The Hong Kong Visa Geeza, Your Question Answered /
Is there are truth at all in this Hong Kong employment visa “proposition”?
QUESTION
I am a French national who has just moved to Hong Kong.
I am finding it very difficult to understand the visa process in Hong Kong.
My friend passed me your contact saying that you will surely be able to help me.
I would like to ask you the questions below, hoping that you can provide me a brief answer and explanation.
Is it possible to transfer a Hong Kong employment visa visa from one employer to another?
Why was I told by an employer that if I already had a working visa they would be willing to sponsor me otherwise they could not.
What is the difference between the first visa application and the others?
To explain myself better i will make you an example:
Just yesterday I sat an interview and I was asked about a visa. I made clear that I needed a sponsor and the interviewer said that he was not able to provide sponsorship, however, he said that if I managed to get a Hong Kong employment visa he could transfer it over.
Is it possible?
