How Accommodating Are ImmD to Foreign National ‘Job Hoppers’ Seeking to Change Their Hong Kong Employment Visa Sponsorship All-Too Frequently?
Posted in Employment Visas, Special Programmes, The Hong Kong Visa Geeza, Your Question Answered /
So what DO the Immigration Department make of applicants who too-frequently seek to change their Hong Kong employment visa sponsorship?
QUESTION
I was previously working in Hong Kong for a company for the past 2.5 years and switched jobs 32 days ago.
My previous employer is now offering me a much senior position and really wants me back.
I had been with the company for more than 12 years out of which 2.5 were here in Hong Kong and would love to rejoin.
I have now been with the new employer for only one month and am wondering that if I resign and accept the role at my previous employer will the Hong Kong Immigration Department change my work visa again or will they make a big fuss about it and say NO?
Thank you for your assistance.
