    Sorry missed the bit about not being married. If you don't you both need work visas which is even harder...

    Hey lord, thanks for the link.

    Would the following apply to my fiancee?

    A person of Chinese nationality born outside Hong Kong before or after the establishment of the HKSAR to a parent who, at the time of birth of that person, was a Chinese citizen falling within category (a) or (b).

    Your problem will be that China doesn't recognise dual nationality...

    So what do you think Lord?

    Employment visa our best bet?

    I think so...without knowing all the convolutions of her situation anyway.

    Bagging two week visas will be tough...being married will negate the need for that as the trailing spouse gets a dependent visa, which, paradoxically is more flexible than a working visa.

    With a uni degree and a TEFL you will find work as an English teacher with fairly little problem. Helps if you are here on the ground looking for positions though. That solves your visa issue. Might be tougher for your fiancé unless as others have suggested you get married and then she should be able to get a dependent visa.

    ...what sort of visas would you think would suit us for permanent residency?
    Just to add, you need 7 years' of continuous eligible visas for PR. Visas include employment, dependent, investment, QMAS, and study (fyi, spouse on dependent visa attached to a study visa can't work except w/permission of Director of ImmD). Those 7 year's worth of visas can be a mix of these, e.g. 1 year study, 4 employment, 2 dependent.

    Re. your partner, depending on her parents' PR status you could look into the "Admission Scheme for the Second Generation of Chinese Hong Kong Permanent Residents". Under this, she could sponsor a dependent visa for a spouse (so again with the getting married).
