The working holiday visa and the Hong Kong employment visa are 2 completely different animals…
QUESTION Â OF Â THE Â WEEK
I’m an Australian citizen in Hong Kong, working under a working holiday visa which only permits me to work 3 months per employer.
Is the only way around this to be sponsored by my employer or can I transfer to another visa?
I presume it’s quite expensive and tricky to be sponsored by a company – is that true?
Thanks in advance for your help!Â
