How to get a Hong Kong SAR work permit?

There are several different ways to obtain a work permit in Hong Kong SAR. Here are the steps you can follow in this process:

1. Get a job offer: First, you need to get an offer from an employer to work in Hong Kong SAR. This job offer must show that you are suitable to work in Hong Kong SAR and that the employer is interested in hiring you.

2. Employer application: Your employer must apply to the Hong Kong SAR Labor Administration (Immigration Department). This application must include the employer's company information, job offer letter and information about you.

3. Work permit application: After the employer's application is accepted, you must apply individually to the Hong Kong SAR Labor Administration. In this application, you must submit documents proving that your employer's application has been accepted and your personal information.

4. Immigration department review: Employer and employee applications are reviewed by the Hong Kong SAR Labor Administration. If your application is accepted, you will be issued a work permit. The work permit application process usually takes 4-6 weeks. You can use "Employment Visa Application Status" (EVAS), the online application tracking system of the Hong Kong SAR Labor Administration, to see the status of your application. If your application is accepted, your work permit is usually granted for 1 year. You can work in Hong Kong SAR during this time. At the end of the period, you must submit a new application to renew the work permit.
