No, how long you are allowed to stay depends on your nationality, and it's also at the discretion of the immigration officer.

But most people from western countries seem to get 90 days, and British citizens can get 180 days.

Thanks for your reply's people.
Now seems that i have to go for a study/work visa and then for a ID.

I have less than three months to present them "sponsorship program" the new ID details (if i get it in time) to be legitime in their competion cos they asking only HKID permanent or temporary.

In 2007 i was heading to Shanghai for a fair so i got a Chinese visa from the HK territory and as far as i remember i neither needed a tourist visa for Honk Kong.

I think everybody has the right to be in HK for 90days. Thats very generous i think..

If they (who are they?) are asking for HKID then they are not willing to sponsor you but want someone who already has the right to stay here. If "they" are your future employer then you can't get sponsored by someone else and then work for them.

The length of time you are allowed to stay here varies from 14 days to 6 months depending on nationality (and at the discretion of the Immigration Officer as previously said). You are not allowed to work in this time.

You mean that i have to secure this job offer otherwise if the paperwork done i cannot change employer even if this didnt put me on his basket??

What I mean is that you need a job offer first to get an employment visa and then to get a HKID. You can't get a visa without a job offer and you can't get a HKID without a visa (not tourist).

Its the pilot scheme of Cathay Pacific so they want a HKID.

You are not eligible. Move on.
