If a Hong Kong employer has offered you a role and you are a foreign national, you will need an employment visa before you can start. The General Employment Policy is the main route for professionals in this position, requiring a signed contract, relevant qualifications and evidence that your salary reflects local market rates. Other routes, including the Top Talent Pass Scheme and the IANG for recent local university graduates, offer additional options depending on your background.
Hong Kong Visa Services prepares employment visa applications for working in hong kong on behalf of both the individual applicant and the hiring employer.

- A clean personal background with no serious criminal history or security objections
- Educational qualifications or professional credentials relevant to your role
- A signed employment contract specifying your job title, duties, salary and contract period
- Evidence that your remuneration is in line with local market rates for the position
- Supporting letters from your employer confirming the genuine need for the hire
