In this segment I discuss how the original objectives of Mainland applicants to use the Capital Investment Entrant Scheme actually failed to materialise for the vast majority of them who saw it as an easy ticket to a HKSAR passport.

QOTW: How Are Mainland Applicants for Visas Issued Under the Hong Kong General Employment Policy Treated Differently From Other Foreign Nationals?

Posted by The Visa Geeza / in Employment Visas, Investment Visas, Special Programmes, Your Question Answered / No responses

Under the Hong Kong General Employment Policy, what’s the procedural difference if you are a Chinese citizen applying for a Hong Kong work visa (or any other type of visa for that matter) compared to the rules applying to non-Chinese foreign nationals?

QUESTION  OF  THE  WEEK

I am a Chinese citizen currently enrolled in a French business school (presently resident in Paris) and I just got an internship offer from Hong Kong.

The application procedure for foreign nationals is quite clear already but I’d love to know if it’s different for Chinese citizens.

Is there any specific point I should pay attention to during the application process?
