    Maid from Mainland China

    Hi,

    Does anyone know the procedure for applying someone from mainland China to be a domestic help/maid in Hong Kong? Which office should the employer go to for more information?

    Also, is it cheaper or much more expensive than getting a maid from those maid services?

    Thanks for your help!

    People from Mainland China are not eligible for FDH visas. See Paragraph 3 of the Eligibility Criteria here: http://www.immd.gov.hk/ehtml/ID(E)989.htm

    The Minimum Allowable Wage for a FDH is defined by law at $3580/month, in addition to food and various other items (air fares home from time to time).
