You know how it is… you arrive in Hong Kong for a year of fun and adventure and then you want to stay…

2555 continuous (or cumulative) days in Hong Kong for the right of abode? Surely not?

QUESTION

Hi there!

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 for an employment visa by a company – is that true?

Thanks in advance for your help!
