Hi

My wife got an offer through a consulting agency for a goverment visa to work in HK as a staff nurse. They are offering a family, so she can bring a spouse as well. Salary is HKD 21,000.

My question is, is there any visa like that you can get after arriving in Hong Kong through an agency, which will allow you to work.

Also, please can someone clarify how much a staff nurse should earn as a basic salary in Hong Kong ?

Thanks.

Hi there,

I just got hired for a freelance project that will take place in Botswana starting early next yr. The duration of the project is just 3 months - do you think I really need to apply for a work permit for such a short period or can I get away with being in the country on a tourist visa as it is only such a short period ?

Hi there

I'm going to be moving to Hong Kong to take up a mid-level position in finance. I was just wondering whether anyone has some insight into which areas I should be looking at moving to. I don't want a tiny flat, and don't mind moving out of the city, but also don't want to travel for more than an hour to get to work, at the most. 

Thanks in advance
