    Question Overseas Freelancers & NDAs / Non-Competes

    If you're hiring freelancers who aren't based in Hong Kong, how admissible are the NDAs and non-compete agreements you get them to sign? Also, is it alright for me to request a copy of their passports to verify their identities?

    No idea, but you could use freelancers.com and pick those who have lots of solid work and reviews, and pay extra for the NDA which I haave done in the past.

    I'd say probably irrelevant - since your agreement probably says "enforceable in Hong Kong" and they're not going to come to HK for you to enforce them or you're probably not going to chase them down the streets where they live to enforce the agreement in their country.

    You can ask them for any doc you want - up to then to provide you with true copies or photoshops.
