Is It Actually Becoming Harder to Get Your Hong Kong Employment or Investment Visa Approved?

November 13th, 2012

Posted by / in 60 Second Snapshot, Employment Visas, Investment Visas / 10 responses

One refrain about the Hong Kong visa process that I have heard constantly down the years is that ‘it’s getting tougher’. In fact, it always seems to be ‘getting tougher’.

The former requires an applicant to establish or join in a Hong Kong business actively, while the latter is just a matter of passively investing in the HKSAR. The Capital Investment Entrant Scheme requires at least ten million Hong Kong […]

The Economy at Home is Very Bad – So What Investment Visa Options Exist for You in Hong Kong?

October 13th, 2012

Posted by / in 60 Second Snapshot, Investment Visas / 11 responses

Hong Kong has a lot to offer dynamic, entrepreneurial people who have a modicum of resources, some prior business experience and the desire to make a name for themselves out in Asia.
