QUESTION
Hello,
I was a sponsored by my uncle’s company for 2 years then we had an argument and I left.
Now I’m holding a visitor visa.
For 6 months I’ve sent my resume to more employers than I can count but when it comes to the visa they say “We will call you back”.
I’m from Zimbabwe, 24 years old, graduated from a Tourism and Hotels University and I’ve a girlfriend from Hong Kong for more than 2 years and we actually live together but we won’t get married for the visa also I’m not ready.
So, how do you suggest I go about getting a work visa again?
Thank you so much for your time.

There is no fiancé visa. You will need to marry in the Phils as you cannot visit HK to get married presently. Then apply for the dependant visa after marriage. It’s a 6 week application process for the dependant visa.
