Is it possible to stop working in Hong Kong under an employment visa, move to another country to work yet leave your family behind to continue their lives in here without you day to day?
QUESTION
Hi, I have got valid Hong Kong employment visa and i am living in Hong Kong since last 4 years with my family.
Now for work I might have to shift to Malaysia.
But as my daughter has recently started school, I want my family to stay in Hong Kong.
So what are my options here?
Can I ask my company to apply for extension even though I will be mainly based in Malaysia?
OR
Should I apply for the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme?
OR
Any other suggestion?
Worst case scenario my family moves with me to Malaysia but I want to avoid as it will disturb my whole family.
