Interesting scenario this one…
QUESTION
I have been continuously employed here for almost 7 years and will be eligible to apply for PR in Hong Kong this Sept.
If I leave my current job and start working for a different company outside of Hong Kong, is there any way I can still be eligible for PR in Hong Kong this September?
If the new company’s Hong Kong office hires me and then places me overseas as a temporary secondment, will it be OK to rent out the apt that I own when I go on the secondment?
If the new company’s Hong Kong office hires me and I take a month or two off in between jobs to travel before I start my new job, will this affect my PR application timing?
Thank you!
