    Employment Visa

    Hi
    I recently lost my job. However my working visa was renewed until 2011 January. I wanted to find out wether I can still stay in HK until January 2011? I was advised by someone that although the employment is terminated, but the Visa to stay in Hong Kong remains valid until the expiry day (In this case January 2011).
    I am a finance professional and understand the market is not great at the moment so it may take me a few months to get another job. Just want to make sure if I can legally stay here.
    Any help is appreciated

    Yes - no problem. But you cannot take any employment (even unpaid) unless and until ImmD has agreed the transfer of sponsorship to your new employer.
