Can Elderly Parents Come to Live With Their Son Who Only Holds a Hong Kong Employment Visa?
Posted by The Visa Geeza / in Family Visas, Long Stay & PR, Your Question Answered / 6 responses
if you hold a Hong Kong employment visa, bringing elderly parents to join you in Hong Kong is an area of immigration practice that is fraught with difficulty – as well as uncertainty. Dependant visas are, as a matter of policy, not available for non permanent residents yet it’s a scenario that presents itself all too frequently. This question provides an opportunity to discuss the visa possibilities in this situation.
QUESTION
“Can my husband and I aged 70 and 71 join our, son a banker, whilst he holds a Hong Kong employment visa for approximately 2-4 years ? We are UK citizens and have pensions. We would live with him and his family there.”

Hi Mr. Visa Geeza
My 2 year contract ended prematurely due to COVID back in June 2020 with 1 year remaining on my work visa. My employer informed immigration.
I now have a new job offer.
Do I go down the ID990 / 991 route for transfer over of new employer?
Can I still apply for a job that is initially a 3 month contract?
Regards
Mark
