A Taiwanese IT manager hired by a Hong Kong company

Background

Mr Su, an IT manager in Taipei, applied with his wife. He wanted to develop his career in Hong Kong.

Main concern

He didn’t know which scheme a Taiwanese applicant should use.

Our approach

We explained that Taiwanese applicants generally apply under the General Employment Policy, and helped the employer prepare the job description and pay details.

Process and outcome

He was approved in about 5 weeks and moved to Hong Kong with his wife.

Adviser’s comment

The employer’s documents matter too — working together shortens processing.

Hong Kong GEP application process

1. Confirm the job offer (Depends on the employer): Secure the offer from your Hong Kong employer.
2. Prepare documents (1–2 weeks): You and your employer prepare the required documents.
3. Submission and processing (A few weeks): The Immigration Department processes the application.
4. Arrival and extensions (Per your visa period): Start work in Hong Kong and extend when the conditions are met.
