How can one go about swapping from a Hong Kong Working Holiday Visa to a complete Hong Kong work visa?
QUESTION
I am a British citizen with a 1st class degree, 2 years work experience and unique language abilities.
I am currently in Hong Kong on a working holiday visa and was employed at a specialist insurance company doing business development.
I have now been promoted to an account manager and thus I would like to know how one would go about applying for a normal work visa.
I understand cases like mine are rare but I have heard that it shouldn’t be a problem.
I thought I would ask you guys for a better opinion.
