    OIC - Taiwan is different again... easier than the mainland, but I'm not sure of the exact details. Why don't you email immigration at [email protected] and ask them?

    i did but got no reply from them.
    but is this correct? i can only stay for 14 days. but if i told the immigration that i have a godfather that is currently inviting me to come to his place- will they allow me to stay in HK for at least 3 months? if so, would anyone here know if there are like supported documents needed to prove that it is such? like a relationship document perhaps?
    thanks

    You feel it will take you that long to find work? What kind of field are you trying to get in to and what qualifications do you hold?

    Oh and never ever tell immigration that you are looking for work whilst on a tourist visa. They will refuse to extend it for more than your 14 days for sure.

    I found out the hard way last year where I effectively got booted back to U.K when my tourist visa was about to expire and I thought I'd do the honest thing rather than do a visa run.

    Honesty is not always the best policy at times in these instances!

    thanks but i'd figure that that would be the case.
    *sigh* im giving up HK. lucky for those of you who can stay for 3-6months. i will be dropping by in HK in march for 5 day vacation trip and thats all. hopefully, i can fit the interview-exam-or whatever in my schedule if some companies think im worth a shot. (fat chance)
