I am separating from my wife and she is refusing to keep me on her Dependent visa.
My visa expires in a month and my employers have always made it clear that they won’t sponsor Employment visas – and I don’t know what to.
Do I need to find a new job if I lose my Hong Kong dependant visa in this way?
How long would it take for a first time visa application?
Can I just keep quiet at work? They probably won’t check my visa status…
What would be the implications for that?
