Delivering Peace of Mind

“I cannot actually attest to having had a positive business relationship with Stephen, but the reason is simply that he recognized my needs were simple, gave me invaluable advice, and then told me it would be a waste of money to hire him when I could as easily do it myself. He even went so far as to then provide all the necessary forms for my visa conversion, free of charge! That kind of professionalism is rare in this day and age, and will not soon be forgotten. Next time I have need of visa assistance in HK, I won’t hesitate to hire Stephen.”

Erik Townsend, Fund Manager

“I want to thank the Hong Kong Visa Centre for guiding me through the minefield that is applying for a working visa in Hong Kong, I found Stephen to be friendly and professional and would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to take up employment in Hong Kong.”

 Joseph Dowler

“I am very glad I chose to see Stephen and use his visa service. He has an excellent knowledge of Hong Kong immigration procedures. Apart from his extensive knowledge and sound advice, I will remember his kindness and genuine interest in helping people. Thoroughly recommended.”

Alastair, Hong Kong

“It’s hard to say why some people are nice without a reason!

A year ago, I wrote about how Stephen Barnes and his team pulled out all the stops to get me in Hong Kong when the rest of his competitors conveniently bailed on me.

So naturally, I approached him to help me out with my visa extension, and to my surprise, in return, he sent me a do-it-yourself visa extension kit.

It had step-by-step instructions that almost anyone could follow and had links to all relevant forms online. It was like having Mr. Barnes on my side, without any extra cost! He was always accessible if I had any questions. I followed all the instructions, and now I have a 3-year extension visa in my passport.

Mr. Barnes saved me quite a bit of money, but that’s not the point. The point is that it’s very comforting to find someone whom you can trust and who is looking out for you. He’s nice without a reason, and that’s very hard to find.

If you have worked with Mr. Barnes before, you know how lucky you are. And if you are thinking about it, I say grab him!”

“I wanted to say how enjoyable it was using the Hong Kong Visa Centre for my visa renewal. If you need any sort of testimonial or referral please let me know, I’d be more than happy to recommend you and your team. From the outset, you and the Hong Kong Visa Centre team were an incredible source of helpful, straight forward, clear advice. Raquel was wonderful to work with as well.

Thanks again and see you around HK!”

James Fisher, Spacious, Hong Kong

“Just wanted to say that your website, videos and email forums are an invaluable resource and have been personally very helpful.

I just received my visa renewal with a walk in service and followed the visa extension package online and was in and out with no problems.

Thanks again for doing a great service for HK!”

Steven L, Hong Kong

“Thanks to your experience and sage advice with Hong Kong Visas, the process of applying for Verification of Eligibility for Right of Abode (Permanent Resident) was completed.

Even for someone like me who is experienced in navigating policy regulated processes and able to take a DIY route normally it was invaluable to have your guidance and resources available as it’s the nuances and practical examples that you have encountered that make it a surer outcome.

In retrospect had I taken advantage of your resources prior to applying for my first investment/employment visa I’d have saved a lot of hours of valuable time I could have been spending on actual work issues that could have a payback.

Feel free to share my comments as you see fit.”
