    Your prospective employer has to apply for the visa.

    Is that true? I thought you applied for the visa with your employer as sponsor.

    I am with hull on this one. What is needed from your employer though is a number of items including a reason why they were unable to fill the post locally. If your employer is a big multinational with a huge number of staff, this should not be a problem. If the company is small and has not done this before it can take an arduously long period of time for them to get more information together which the immd may ask for, such as business plans, copies of lease agreements, accounts.....

    It is better if you maintain some degree of control over the process if you are in the latter case.

    No - YOU apply for the visa. The potential employer is your sponsor. Some companies' HR departments handle a lot of the logistics on your behalf but you are formally the applicant, not the company (sponsor).

    The links in the post abaove are one commercial agents interpretation of the guidelines for applying which are clearly laid out on the Immigration website here: The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region - Immigration Department
