I have not found my case yet in previous threads.
I have resigned with my current employer, and at -coincidently- the same time as my resignation date (early Nov) my HK work permit is expiring. However, I have signed a contract with a new company already, starting 1st March 2010. (the time in between jobs I will travel and relax in HK)
I know I can get in and out of HK as tourist until I have my new Visa, however it is not very practical, since many things like renting a place, or even getting a club membership require your ID card.
Is there a way that Immigration can extend the validity of my ID card, since I have a new contract and clearly just need to bridge the gap of 5 months?
What would be your suggestion?
