Can't believe I am asking this...

Can anyone shed some light on how to get someone a work visa and an HKID eventually???

(tried the hk.gov route but they were all in Martians=need more laymen version)

Y' need t' get 'em sponsored by an employer which means a job a local can't do, an inference of a certain status n salary and then - stay here for 7 years or get married to a Permed Resi ID card holder I think.

Guess it's a start

The HKID is easy and straightforward once the working visa is sorted out.

Working visa takes some effort:

• Sponsorship by a reputable HK registered company or representative office in good standing with IRD and IMD
• Position needs to be one that is not easily filled by local talent (proof of previous unsuccessful recruitment attempts may be asked for) .
• Applicant's credentials (Uni etc) need to be provided as well as resume detailing relevant experience, certificates of training, references, etc.
• Whole process may take a few weeks or months, depending on strength of application.

Make sure all the paperwork is in good order and well presented.

Good luck!

Or you can go the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme route but you need to have sufficient qualification/ experience and it takes a bit of time...
