The Hong Kong Immigration Department are not especially receptive to what can appear to be family reunion via the back door…

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

QUESTION

Hello,

My wife and I are on work visas in Hong Kong and are expecting a baby in the Autumn.

My wife would like to keep working, and wants to bring her mother over (she is from Central America) to look after the baby, possibly for up to a year.

Her mother would only be eligible for a 30-day visitor visa.

Could we employ her as a domestic helper?

Do we have any other options?

Thanks!
