What issues arise in respect of those foreign nationals in Hong Kong who accompany their unmarried life partners (gay or heterosexual) here on prolonged visitor visas and who are planning to carry on their professions remotely for an overseas employer whilst permitted by the Hong Kong Immigration Department to be present in Hong Kong as a visitor for family reunion purposes only?

QUESTION

Hi there!

Amazing site – thank you so much for all the info.

I’m a Canadian citizen following my partner to Hong Kong (where he will be working as a lawyer).

I will actually be keeping my job in Vancouver but working remotely from Hong Kong.

Is it worth mentioning this in my application or is it irrelevant?

Also, I’m still a little confused as to whether I should apply for the extended visitor visa once I get to Hong Kong or before – could you clarify whether its better to do so after arrival and use form ID91?

Does my partner already need to have been issued his work visa or can we apply at the same time?

Thank you for this wealth of knowledge!
