The competition there is a lot greater than the US, so those in Hong Kong who want to get ahead in life really have to work ALL of the time it seems. It's not survival of the fittest but survival of the smartest. As for wanting to work 'normally' and have a good life, working for a global business, like Nikon or IBM is the best bet.

IF you are that lucky to have such an understanding boss, too bad in HK, it's almost impossible, be it the expats nor the locals. If you find one who really cares about their staff well-being, let me know. Most (shall I say 99.9999%) of the bosses won't care as long as they get whatever they watned on their desk. My other friend, European boss, ask the staff to have all presentations on desk by 0845 the next morning, this request was made at 1845 the evening before. When my friend said she has an urgent appointment, boss said, "of course, by all means go home, just give these to me by 0845 tomorrow morning!!" Forgot to mention, this presentation took about 5 hours to finish. Anyway, most of the staff from this department work from 0845 - 2300, five day a week. Some even has to come back during the weekends, Saturdays & Sundays. One more thing, this is an European company.

You have to take your helper to the British Consulate in Central to apply for the U.K. visa, as for the Schengen visa, because it would allow you to travel through Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden etc., you have to apply for the Schengen visa at one of the above country's consulate in Hong Kong. It is advised that it is better to apply in the country where you plan to stay the longest but from what I heard, the French Embassy can be difficult. You can also check out this site: http://www.eurovisa.info. Best of luck because Indonesian Passport can be problematic but if you hit a wall in one consulate, go to another one immediately.

live/work in Hong Kong or Japan

live/work in Hong Kong or Japan?
I have really wanted to live in Japan and know alot about the culture and the simple language as well as Haragana. But I know that the Japanese are not too keen for foreigners (nor is any country really but you get the jist) So I was thinking about my career/life to go to Hong Kong as it would be easier for me to speak for they know more English than they do in Japan so I could learn while I'm there. Please help me pick the correct place to set my goals to. This isn't just a fantasy or what ever I have thought this through and I just need help on this part my dreams were already quite crushed but Hong Kong is not too bad.

Hong Kong is one of the most expensive cities in the world to live in. Anyone living in HK must have an appropriate income to support themself. A tiny apartment in Kowloon costs HK$10,000 (US$1,300) per month. An equally tiny apartment on HK Island costs HK$20,000 (US$2,600) per month. Foreigners are required to have a long term visa in order to reside to HK. A HK employment visa is only issued to professionals sponsored by their HK employer. Education, skills, and work experience drive the employment decision. Engineers, architects, lawyers, and other professionals may be able find suitable employment in HK. Foreign drifters with no university degree, no professional license, and no money do not belong in Hong Kong.
4 :
If you wanna study oversea, Hong Kong is great! It's true that some appartments are pretty expensive whereas there are also some cheaper choice. The price is just depense on where you live. If you come to Hong Kong for study, I don't think you have to live is a large apartment (some internetional schools has its own dorms for students actually). Some apartments may cost about $5,000-$7,000HKD per month. As you experienced in Japan, Japanese are with strong national consciousness. Most of them are disdained to speak or even to learn English. Thus, you should have a great problem in communicating with Japanese if you're not very good at Japanese. On the other hand, though not all of Hong Kong people are very good at English, most of them can speak base English. Thus, it's easy for you to get into Hong Kong though you can't speak Cantonese or Mandrain. Of course, to experience a local Hong Kong life, you better know some basic Chinese. Here's the link of Hong Kong Immigration Department for information about studing in Hong Kong. Hope it helps. http://www.immd.gov.hk/ehtml/id996.htm

It might depend entirely on the profession or career of your choice. Anyone can give comparisons for the two places and it would be endless, so perhaps what you would want to do is to narrow down your own career options and see which place has a better chance of improving your skills. One example would be drawing and graphics design, Hong Kong might have some good graphic design companies but Japan is known to be a powerhouse in many animated characters and such creativities. So in this case, I would suggest pursuing a career in Japan. Likewise, you can use this concept.
6 :
Hong Kong is surely more suitable and a convenient place for foreigners. But as you're so much fond of Japanese culture, it's not bad idea to stay there for a while and see how you can adapt to the country. Regarding which place is more expensive, I would say both are about the same.

The country's government will give you a work permit as long as you've secured a job in some company. At least that's how it is in Singapore. I imagine the case would be similar in the other countries. From the company's point of view, as long as you fulfil their requirements, they'll be glad to hire you. If you apply for an entry position, of course not much experience is needed. But if you apply for the position of a Director, obviously you'll need lots more experience.

you need to join the yahoo group maganak. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MAG-ANAK/ Ray Bacon will answer all your questions. It shouldn't be a problem. Just petition her as a fiance and she should be here within 4-8 months. That is, unless there is another delay at USCIS again.
2 :
You need to show that this is a valid courtship. When applying for the K-1 visa, you need to show photographs of them dating, wedding plans, e-mail love letters, phone records showing that they have called each other, etc etc. She can try to enter the US by applying for the B Tourist visa, but this can be very difficult to obtain since you need to show that she plans on returning to HK after her visit to the US. If she enters the US on the B Tourist visa, then she can apply for the marriage based Green Card. There is no guarantee that the GC will get approved.
3 :
You could petition her thru K-1 visa. She could be interviewed in the US Embassy in HK but she must be provide police clearance and Certificate of No Marriage (CENOMAR) from the Philippines.Provided that both of you satisfies the requirements for a K-1 visa petition it will not be hard.I suggest you join the Philippine forum in www.visajourney.com as I've known some couples there who are in K-1 visa process whose Filipina fiancees are working in HK.They could give you more insights and experiences as you are in the same situation. Good luck.
4 :
If you're asking how hard it would be to get a tourist visa, then the answer would be pretty hard, especially if the Filipina in Hong Kong was working there as a domestic. It would be hard to show that this person intended to return. But, if you're talking about a fiance visa, then it would be no different than it would be for anyone else.

I was offered a job in Hong Kong after sending my resume. However, I was told that I would be on probation for 3 months, but with no work visa, as a tourist (it is illegal to work as a tourist in Hong Kong) In case the employers want to hire me after the probation period, then they would start processing the work visa. Now, it's a good work opportunity, but I am not sure if it is too risky living and working without a work visa.

I totally agree with the first answerer!!!! The company can't buy the ECI - employee's compansation insurance for an illegal worker, but it is by law that they should buy for all of their employees to cover their safety at work. Medical is another issue that you should consider and how about paid holidays? Will they sign employment contract with you even for the first 3 months? HK$15,000 is too tight for you to pay all the bills (rent / transportation/ rellocation / electricity / telephone!), besides, it is illegal, as you know it. Why do you want to take such a bad deal? Proper company won't hire illegal worker, the highest penalty for the employer is HK$350,000 + be sent to jail 3 years, who would take this risk openly? (The immagration department can check you have been in Hong Kong for 3 months as a tourist and would wonder what did you do during the your stay.) What kind of job they offer you? Be careful!!!!

You need a visa to stay in Hong Kong for longer than your visa-free admissible period. For an entry visa application for residence in Hong Kong, you need to provide the following :- * an application form ID(E) 936, with relevant parts duly completed and signed; * evidence of the sponsor's financial standing, e.g. bank statements, savings accounts passbooks, tax receipts and employment certificates; * evidence of the applicant's financial standing; * evidence of sponsor's relationship with the applicant, e.g. marriage certificates, birth certificate, family photographs and family letters (with envelopes), census record book and Privilege Card for Single Child (if applicable); * evidence of sponsor's accommodation, e.g. rental receipts; and * evidence of the applicant's past residence in Hong Kong (if any).

Renting your own flat would be pretty tough for 6 months. I am not sure of where your comfort zone lies, but one feasible option would be to rent a room. Usually for about 300-400 USD per month you can rent a very small room in a flat. You share the bathroom, kitchen, and living room with the other renters. The real advantage is that you can negotiate a monthly lease and you will have a place to leave your stuff while you are out of town. Another great thing is that these places are in central locations. Causeway Bay has a ton of rooms to rent. A friend of mine lived that way for 5 years and loved it. Another temporary solution could be a guest house. Again, Causeway Bay has dozens of these. They usually charge about $20 - 30 USD per night, though you could likely negotiate a much lower monthly rate. One that I checked out before was called the Bin Ma Guesthouse. It was clean and the rooms had their own bathrooms, tv's and mini-fridge. These might actually be the best option for you because they require no contract and are furnished. If you are brave, I suggest you wing it out here without a place to stay, take the train from the airport and catch the MTR to Causeway Bay. Get out at Times square and walk north. Start looking up because all the signs for Guest houses are on the second floor. Drop your bags off and stay there for a night. The next day walk around and find a better cleaner place and negotiate prices for a longer stay. I am sure you will find a good clean place to stay a heck of a lot cheaper than a hotel or even room renting.

Yes you need a HKID Card. Why don't you get a cheap service apt? You can rent some for 10 - 12k a month HK$.

If it is an unlocked tri-band or quad-band phone, it will work in China and Hong Kong. Single or dual-band phones don't work in Asia. You will need to buy local SIM cards (different for Hong Kong and China) but that is not difficult to do. Good luck!

I'm from the Philippines too, if you go to hong kong you can buy a local version or a US version of the 360. Your games will be dictated by the region of your xbox. Also your Xbox live and game points will depend on which region box you get. I got US and get my points online. Games are available locally at datablitz. I do recommend the US version, more games available quicker too.

Hong Kong is 220v ! Better to buy new things there if you're staying there very long.

Well things like phones and computers have adapters that can work on any voltage around the world. However things like hairdryers and kettles will work on the 110V US supply and Hongkong uses a 220 British powersupply. The weight limite on flights adds up pretty quickly so you won't really be able to take too much. Hong Kong is a free port and you have lots of different products are very cheap prices.
3 :
Not only that the voltage is different in Hong Kong but also the plugs, Hong Kong's are 3-legs while the US are 2 so you need to buy a socket that could fit both ends.
4 :
Leave your appliances in America. Hong Kong has different voltage and plug configurations than the United States. You will need to buy voltage converters and plug adapterss for everything if you bring them to Hong Kong. Trust me, it's too big of a hassle for a $30 hair dryer.

In Hong Kong it is 15,however many countries make a distinction between light and hazardous work, with the minimum age for the former generally being 12, for the latter usually varying between 16 and 18. ILO conventions adopt this approach, allowing light work at age 12 or 13, but hazardous work not before 18. The ILO establishes a general minimum age of 15 years, provided 15 is not less than the age of completion of compulsory schooling. This is the most widely used yardstick when establishing how many children are currently working around the world.

Whether or not a phone will work depends on the type of network the phone can be used on, the frequency the your network uses, and whether or not your phone has a software lock. Type of network can include GSM, CDMA, and TDMA. You may have heard the term quadband, meaning that phone can take four different frequencies (850/900/1800/1900). Software locks are done by service providers to prevent that branded phone to be used on a different network. These phones can typically be unlocked. Basically, you'll need to find out what specifications are needed by the UK service provider and then buy a phone that matches those specifications.

Doing Business in China The following article on establishing a legal framework for doing business in China is reproduced by courtesy of ICS Trust. You can email Daniel Booth at dbooth@icstrust.com or download the full ICS brochure. Also see their comments on opening an office in Hong Kong. We do not take any liability for the accuracy of material supplied by third parties. Company Structure Foreign companies that rush into the China market often make two common mistakes: first, entering China without a carefully planned risk mitigation strategy and secondly, failing to develop an exit strategy for the worst case scenario – the death of a venture. There are many implications in going directly into China, these include: * Exposure to potential legal and financial risk arising from China’s tight monetary controls; * Entrapment in complex and unfamiliar corporate compliance procedures; * Trying to keep up to date with the forever changing laws; or simply * Repatriating profits out of China. With no exit strategy, companies may find themselves waiting months or even years to rationalize assets and repatriate capital. Many companies are stunned by heavy taxes which could have been avoided with appropriate early tax planning to minimize liabilities both in China and in the home country. Both large and small companies face similar risks, although large multinational corporations tend to have greater financing capabilities and therefore a larger tolerance for bearing such risk. This unfortunately is not the case for the majority of SMEs.A wrong move may mean a very expensive and time-consuming fix. Nevertheless, regardless of whether an investor in China is a large multinational corporation or an entrepreneurial SME, the question remains, why take unnecessary risks, when these can be mitigated? Foreign investors have a number of options available when deciding on the type of FIE they use to establish a presence in China. Different FIEs provide varying levels of flexibility and enable the business to conduct a broad spectrum of commercial activities in China. A business decision on which investment vehicle to use should effectively be centered on its intended commercial objectives and the industry sector in which the business is engaged. The more commonly used types of FIEs available in China and the relevant capabilities and restrictions of each are outlined on our China company structure page. Orientation - "An introduction, as to guide one in adjusting to new surroundings, employment, activity, or the like.

Marion Udall's advice is based on her personal experiences of relocating to Hong Kong. She has guided many families through the pitfalls of Hong Kong relocation. Each assignment is tailored to the individual orientation needs of the family engaging her. Marion can meet you at your hotel and take you around Hong Kong Island, introduce you to various residential areas and arrange introductions to schools, clubs, gyms, estate agents or social groups She can assist with applications for a Hong Kong working visa (where the employer is registered and trading in Hong Kong), a Hong Kong drivers license and an ID card. Fees for Marion's Hong Kong Island orientation service are based on HK$300 ph or part thereof, plus expenses (e.g. car and driver at a further HK$300 ph), payable in cash or by advance bank transfer. The minimum session is four hours, except in the case of a Hong Kong work visa application where the fees are fixed at $6,000 per application plus disbursements. The fee for lodging an associated dependants visa application is fixed at $3,000 plus disbursements.Many companies will pay or reimburse the fees for an orientation service, as this assistance speeds assimilation and reduces the risk of a relocation failing.

The 1st Answerer is rightly said, Hongkongers are generally nice and kind-hearted although on the surface they dont initiate "friendliness" as most people of larger cities. Hong Kong and the Mainland China is very different, people's attitudes and mentality towards work and business are much closer to the West. This makes Hong Kong a perfect blend of the East and West, out in the business and work environments, people follow the rules and regulations just as people in the West do, ie no undertable dealings as so often happened in the Mainland. At home they practise confucianism in respecting the elderly and closely knitted family ties. The nicest thing about Hong Kong is that you could live like a king being surrounded by all sorts of luxuries and clubbing. At the same token there're many affordable apartments rentals, restaurants and shops to choose. There's always something that suit your budget. Check www.DiscoverHongKong.com and enjoy!

I myself live in Hong Kong I'm just in America to see my sister. I might be a little young to answer this and I hope...my English isn't too messy to confuse you. Hong Kong generally is a crowded place. We live in apartments often located above shopping centers. Working technically means beating the subway to whatever location your work place is. Its a good place to live an generally people are nice. But the problem is the amount of people. I have to go to school in the early hours and I get squished a lot. But working in Hong Kong shouldn't be a major problem. If you live there you will have to get used to smaller spaces because my apartment is about three rooms including bathroom. Technically it wouldn't be difficult if you get used to it. One more thing, in Hong Kong the summers are really hot. Like, really hot. Right now I'm in Las Vegas but Hong Kong is much more hot.

The general consensus is that all PS3s have a built-in voltage converter so in that regard all you should need is a PS3 power cable for the Hong Kong outlets. However, it never hurts to buy a power converter to be safe. Its a $400+ machine after all. EDIT: Have a look at this. http://www.eurogamer.net/forum_thread_posts.php?thread_id=68988 It should work the way it is. In addition to the link, I have only seen success stories and not stories of failure regarding the built-in power converter issue. You'll only need a different power cable or plug adapter if the current PS3 power cord doesn't fit into the Hong Kong outlet. You don't need a power converter of any sort.

You'd need to take it to a gaming place or someone that can tell you what the problem is.)

Is your adapter 110 or 220VAC? Switching power adapters are often "wide input" and can handle 90-240VAC. Just check what's written on it. Also worth to mention that adapters here quite lousy and often the contact is really bad, or you have no contact at all. Move your charger around in the adapter and check if it gets power in any particular position. Or bring your charger to a shop and let them find any suitable adapter for you.
