Hello Expats,
Hope all is well?
I am just after a bit of advice from someone.
My girlfriend and I are moving to Hong Kong in late September. She is starting a research position at Hong Kong University.
I work in PR in the UK and I have been contacting some of the multi-nationals in HK. I have had a couple of phone interviews and two companies have invited me in for a face-to-face interview when I arrive.
We are not married so I am unable to get a dependent visa. I guess I will need to come over on a visitors visa and then look to switch to an employment visa once (hopefully!) I'm offered a position.
What I need to know is if such companies will know this and be willing to sponsor me? Is it feasible to enter on a visitors visa and then switch to an employment visa. I have been told many people do this though it is not ideal??
Any help would be much-appreciated! I am also going to start applying for advertised positions, I believe JobsDB is good?
Thanks
James
