QUESTION
I have looked over your website and found lots of good information.
However, I think I have a question that may not have been answered on the site.
I have been offered a job in Hong Kong and want to accept it and move there with my girlfriend.
She is from Turkey and is 30 years old.
I don’t think we will be able to apply for a Hong Kong defacto spouse visa as we have not lived together for long enough etc.
My question is: Do we basically need to get married?
Or is another option repeated visa runs on her part?
