The Immigration Department of the HKSAR said: The Immigration (Amendment) Ordinance 2009 has come into effect, which prohibits illegal immigrants and persons subject to deportation orders or removal orders from taking paid or unpaid jobs, or starting or participating in any business.

The spokesman said that the Hong Kong SAR Government has always been committed to cracking down on illegal workers to protect the employment opportunities of local workers. The amendment to the Immigration Ordinance will enable the Immigration Department to deal with the employment of illegal immigrants more effectively. Even if illegal immigrants are guaranteed during their stay in Hong Kong, they will be subject to criminal sanctions if they engage in illegal work. Offenders are liable to a maximum fine of $50,000 and imprisonment for three years upon conviction.

After the Amendment Ordinance comes into effect, the Immigration Department will continue to strictly enforce the law and crack down on illegal workers in order to deter those who intend to work in Hong Kong illegally. The spokesman also appealed to employers not to employ illegal workers, and reiterated that it is also illegal for anyone to employ people who are not legally employable. Offenders are liable to a maximum fine of $350,000 and imprisonment for three years upon conviction.
