    Investment visa

    I'm trying to start a small business in Hong Kong with a friend who is an Indian national. He would need a work visa, and we are sorting out the process is to get an investment visa. There isn't as much information online as employment visas. According to this: http://www.geminivisa.com/visahandbo...nvestment.html, the applicant could get an extension as a visitor while the visa is being approved. However, could he work during that waiting period? And how hard is the process?

    Any insights would be appreciated. Thank you!

    cee -- he cannot work while the paperwork is being done for the employment visa (i.e. he has not received authorization to work from the immigration department).

    The basics are covered here.
