Work Visa from Nigeria to Hong Kong
- If you’re planning on taking a job in Hong Kong, you need to get a work permit first.
- To get an employment visa you must have a job in a sponsoring company that is willing to employ you and carry out the application process for your permit.
- The sponsoring company has to prove that you have the necessary skills for the job and that a local worker could not fill the position.
- When granting work visas, the Immigration Department considers the applicant’s education, job experience and other factors.
- The application for your work visa is not submitted by you, but by your future employer.
- The company has to submit a confirmed offer of employment, and proof that the remuneration package includes salary, accommodation, medical and educational provisions, as well as other benefits appropriate for professionals in Hong Kong.
- The application process takes four to six weeks, after which the entry visa is issued to your employer, who would then forward it to you.
- Once you get your visa, you can apply for residency for your spouse and children as well.
