Hong Kong Employment Visa for an Independant Contractor? The General Employment Policy anticipates that foreign national Professionals seeking to work in Hong Kong are subject to a formal employer-employee relationship. So what’s the situation if the employer wants to engage you as a contractor? Is it do-able?

QUESTION

Dear Stephen,

 I got a working visa in Hong Kong associated with my current employer.

I received an offer in another business in Hong Kong but they said it’s a contractor job.

Please, where can I find more information about visa, tax and procedures for this opportunity?
