How to get work in Hong Kong?

Hong Kong working visas?

  • My boyfriend and I are hoping to move to Hong Kong for a few years. He might be getting a job with a construction company and I am now looking for potential work. I was born in Hong Kong but have lived in the UK since I was 2 years old. Will I need a visa to work in Hong Kong, and if so will this improve my chances of getting a visa? Ideally I would like to teach English but I know this is getting increasingly difficult to get a job in. I have a bachelors degree and am going to do a TEFL course. Can anyone give any advice on how to improve my chances? Any information would be much appreciated, thanks

  • Answer:

    If you are born in Hong Kong, you are eligible to apply with your birth certificate for a permanent identity card which is equivalent to being a Hong Kong citizen. Just follow the instructions here: http://www.gov.hk/en/residents/immigration/idcard/roa/verifyeligible.htm

Your chances are quite good. If you are actually in Hong Kong you'll be able to check out the local schools and even if you don't get work immediately, if you approach it right and leave your details in time you'll be able to pick something up. There's also the option of private lessons which are better paid.

ICAL TEFL

Having your BA and your TEFL Certification definitely helps your chances of getting a job. Make sure your certification is from a reputable company. If you can get some teaching experience before you go, that would be amazing! It will give you the professional edge and put you over the top as far as getting jobs goes. Hong Kong is a great place to be teaching right now, lots of opportunities to make money and get a really great job! Have you started your TEFL courses yet? I work for the TEFL Institute (http://www.teflinstitute.com), we are an internationally accredited certification course. we offer lifetime job placement assistance to our students- all of our alumni who are looking for jobs get hired. If you'd like, I'd be happy to send you some more information about teaching in Hong Kong and our job placement assistance. You can email me here or at [email protected]. Let me know! Either way, good luck! Remy
