    Too old for work visa?

    Someone mentioned the other day that at the age of 50, one is no longer eligible for a work visa.

    Does anyone know if this is true?

    Clearly not true - there are plenty of senior executives over 50 on employment visas (I've worked for two).

    That my friend would be discrimination, which lucky for all of us is illegal in Hong Kong
