Changing jobs in Hong Kong requires the permission of the Director of Immigration…

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

Dear Stephen,

I have a stable job in Hong Kong and am finalizing an offer with a potential new employer here.

Since there is always a risk of immigration refusal, and I don’t want to lose my current job if the change of employer application does not work out.

How to do this without my current employer knowing?

Basically the question is how to get the new employment visa arrangements approved by the Hong Kong Immigration Department before letting my current employer know about it?

Thanks a lot!
