All About Hong Kong Employment Visa Sponsorship
There is a great deal of confusion about Hong Kong employment visa sponsorship and this short video cuts through all the noise and sets it out definitively.
Hong Kong Employment Visa Sponsorship Comes With 2 Privileges
Your employment visa comes with 2 privileges under Hong Kong immigration law. You get the privilege to work and the privilege to reside.
Hong Kong Employment Visa Sponsorship – What Happens If You Quit Your Job For Any Reason?
If you stop working for the employer sponsoring your work visa, your privilege to work ends but your privilege to reside continues until your visa limit of stay expires. Upon the expiry of your visa, you are expected to leave. After leaving your employer you can reinstate your privilege to work again before your visa expires by making an application to change your employment visa sponsorship once you have a new job offer. Your privilege to work extends only to the work you do for your sponsoring employer and no other party, including yourself, paid or unpaid, part time, some time or full time. This means you can only work for your work visa sponsor and no other party.

Ending Note
The bottom line is that your ability to work lgeally is tied to your employment visa sponsorship if you possess an employment visa issued under the General Employment Policy. There are certain exceptions if you have earned HKD2 million or more in previous tax year and upgraded your status to Top Tier Stream, hold an IANG visa or have been admitted under the Top Talent Pass Scheme – all which have visa sponsorship playing a minor role in visa holder lawful employability.
