How do mainland citizens go to work in Hong Kong?

Generally, you can choose to apply for a work visa or immigrate to Hong Kong.

Work visa: You must first find a job in Hong Kong and obtain an employment contract with a Hong Kong company before you can apply. In addition, the work visa is restricted by the employer. If you stop working or change jobs in this company, you must report to the Immigration Bureau in advance. The new company may not get a work visa.

Immigrating to Hong Kong: With Hong Kong identity, you can work in Hong Kong more stably. As long as you are not a special public official (such as a diplomat) and have lived in Hong Kong legally for seven years in any way, you can apply to become a permanent resident of Hong Kong. After successful application, you will have the right to live and work permanently in Hong Kong until you give up or lose this status according to the laws of Hong Kong.

There are other legal channels for Chinese mainland citizens to work in Hongkong:

Through marriage: As long as your spouse is a permanent resident of Hong Kong, you can come to live and work in Hong Kong after marriage.

Adoption: Those who are adopted by Hong Kong permanent residents can settle down and work in Hong Kong.

Refugee status: This is very difficult for Chinese mainland citizens, but it is still a method in principle. Historically, Hong Kong has hosted a large number of refugees.

By being supported: If you are financially dependent on someone (such as spouse, parents, guardians, relatives who have to take care of your daily life because of your disability, etc. ) If you want to move to Hong Kong, you can only follow. As long as that person (whoever it is) can work in Hong Kong, so can you.

Investment immigration: After successful immigration, you can settle and work in Hong Kong.

Other ways: for example, immigrating to Hong Kong in the form of excellent talents and so on.

Note: If you come to Hong Kong for sightseeing and visiting relatives, you must never do any paid work in Hong Kong, otherwise you will break the law, be arrested and be taken to court. For example, there are legal jobs in Hong Kong. After the Dongguan incident, mainland women came to Hong Kong as tourists, hoping to provide the same sexual services. However, it is illegal for local people to do legal things. There are often news reports in this regard, and they often catch a lot. These people violate the law, mainly because they provide sexual services, but because they have done paid work (which is illegal), and sometimes because they have overstayed in Hong Kong (which is also illegal).
