So, exactly what privileges come with a Hong Kong work visa? Can you actually work on the side under a Hong Kong work visa?

QUESTION

Hi!

I have a question regarding employment visas. I currently hold a full time Hong Kong work visa from a company (X), and I just registered my own business and will have several avenues of work for this. Therefore, I’ve been told I should change my visa over so that my company sponsors myself to do all the work through these different avenues, including company X.

Is this the right procedure?

Otherwise, can I maintain my work for company X, while my company gets paid (instead of me) for the other work I’m doing? Is that allowed?

THANK you!
