What’s the deal if you’re in Hong Kong with a dependant visa and your spouse wants to leave but you want to stay?
QUESTION
Hello,
I am here on a dependent visa with my husband. He is planning to leave his employment in Hong Kong and return to his home country but I am thinking of staying for a couple more years.
What happens with my dependent visa (limit of stay in 2014) when he quits his job and leaves?
Can I, too, use my consents to reside in Hong Kong even though only via a dependent visa to look for an employer to then change my visa status?
