    To get an employment visa, you first need to find a job with a company that will sponsor the visa. The company has to show the job cannot be filled by a permanent resident of Hong Kong, therefore you need to have skills not available here.

    The job search is up to you. Check out recruitment agencies, ad agencies (Campaign Asia website is useful, a couple of current vacancies there to give you an idea: 1. Junior Graphic Designer; 2. Digital Graphic Designer), jobsdb.com...

    Hey. I'm a graphic designer. I got a visa but it wasnt easy. I got sponsored and relocated from the UK, but the fact that I have no tertiary education was an issue, despite over a decade working in the design industry.

    Also - you really should become expert in InDesign if you want a job, it's arguably more important than photoshop. It's not difficult to pick up if you know Illustrator well.

    It sounds like you may be more of a pre-press/artworker. Check JobsDB.
