Got an offer... but then

[wen123]

It looks like I can get an offer from a insurance company in hong kong. however, they do not know if they can get me a working/training visa due to I am still a college student. Can someone give me some ideas on that issue? thanks a lot

But then its not very professional of them if they're in the process of making you an offer without knowing if you're actually legally entitled to work in the first place.

Its not for one of those manulife/aig sales roles etc etc is it? if so then theres no chance of getting a work permit in the first place anyway as the basic will be under 20k a month.

I would also be concerned if my company was not familiar with immigration requirements and procedures.

and I have not yet hearing back from the intern program in HSBC... but I do know that HSBC hires interns from oversea but I dun understand how they got the permit for the interns...

Just posted a link explaining anything you could possibly need to know about a training visa. Please look before complaining about not knowing how i-banks get their interns visas.

Also, wouldn't hold my breath waiting for HSBC intern program - interns are selected in the fall for the summer program and unless someone drops out at this late date it is unlikely that there is space.

What position are u hire as.

If you are hire as sales/business development, you should turn down the job because HK insurance companies hires just abt anyone who can walk and talk. They will definitely not apply a visa for u.
