How is easy is it for Americans to live in Hong Kong

How is easy is it for Americans to live in Hong Kong?

of course, many foreigners live in hong kong. i can't imagine why though, i was in hong kong march 1-march 3 2007. it is very crowded and dirty. if you don't mind living in the big city, there are many people that speak english there. i didn't like it and prices aren't any cheaper than they are in the u.s.
3 :
If you can get a job there, there is no problem living in Hong Kong. Not much has changed since it reverted to China. However, I don't like Hong Kong - too expensive, too crowded, too much traffic (driving on the left side of the road), and too dirty. Shanghai is much better - cheaper, too.

Chinese are naturally friendly to all people of all races even Americans hahaha. I was only joking. Not much different from under British rule that I can tell.

Easy. Just get use to the Chinese and the crowds. You don't really need a visa to go there, but will require you to have a work visa. You can stay as long as you like. Some of my family have been there for more than 20 years and they are all american citizens. GL.

Apple announced that the iPhone 4 will be available in Hong Kong end of July. http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2010/06/07iphone.html But for now we don't know if it's locked or not. If it's locked you can't use it in China (or pay huge roaming fees). If it's not locked it will work fine in China (GSM) since most HK provider use GSM too. So if it's not locked just put your SIM card in and that's it. Update: you can cut any normal GSM SIM card into a micro-SIM -- here is how: http://www.ihackintosh.com/2010/04/convert-mini-sim-in-to-micro-sim-for-ipad-3g-yourself/
2 :
You may face social reprisals in China for owning an Apple iPhone. Everyone should avoid Apple products. A mass protest and clashes occurred at the Apple store in Hong Kong on June 6. Apple is the focus of an emerging nationwide boycott across China. All of Apple's products are manufactured by the infamous Foxconn Technology Group founded by multi-billionaire Terry Gao. A large number of Foxconn employees in China have recently committed suicide, died from exhaustion, and died under mysterious circumstances. There is a massive anti-Foxconn and anti-Apple movement now sweeping China. Do not buy Apple products. Do not bring Apple products into China.
3 :
Following the release date, it should have open network for Hong Kong. Depending on which sim you use, some sim cards will work in Guangzhou much as a China Mobile sim bought in Guangzhou will work in Hong Kong, but of course the rates will now differ once you cross the border and started to make calls. It should work in mainland China, again, just have to wait and see if they are locked or not.

5 :
Hi there, I'm living in Guangzhou and using an iPhone 3G which I bought in Hong Kong. Here just some comments: 1) The notion "you shouldn't use an Apple product in China" is bullshit. Apple products are selling like hot cakes in China 2) You can buy the iPhone through Apple's official website in Hong Kong (www.apple.com/hk/en). The price is quite expensive though but you don't need to get a contract 3) SIM lock, very common in the U.S. and Europe is forbidden by law in Hong Kong. All phones sold here (except those on the gray market) are normally without SIM lock. All you need to do is enter the SIM card in your iPhone, done. I used my iPhone in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Germany without any problems. 4) China has different networks. The iPhone's 3G technology only works with China Unicom. China Telecom needs different kind of handsets (that's why the iPhone also doesn't work with Verizon). So you better get a contract with China Unicom. Mine is RMB 188 / month and provides 300MB of data and enough free minutes. If you go for China Telecom you can only use the slow EDGE network. The 3G network is quite good. I used it in different cities. It's very fast and reliable. 5) If you go to Hong Kong, get a 3G prepaid card. They charge you according to traffic, but the maximum charge is HKD 25 / day (that's around USD 3.50 / day). Not a bad deal at all.

I am a British citizen currently preparing to travel to Hong Kong to apply for my Z visa so I can teach English in China. I have all the required documents and only need to travel to the embassy in Hong Kong to apply. However, I have heard that some people are being rejected visas from the Chinese embassy in Hong Kong possibly due to the Olympic games.

you might want to learn English first. At the moment I doubt you could get a job anywhere.
2 :
Nothing is impossible. HK does offer great amount of job opportunities as the City's economy is picking up fast along with China's. The competition for a good job is fierce though and one has to equip with excellent skills and good working attitudes in order to compete well in the labour market. Nowadays many well qualified students and employees from mainland China eager to work in Hong Kong too. You could get a copy of the Saturday edition of the South China Morning Post in any major Library, Chinatown stores or in the Hong Kong Representive Office located in London, loads of jobs are being advertised on the paper, you could have a feel of their requirements. Good luck!
3 :
You said you speak Chinese, but you didn't specify Cantonese or Mandarin. I'd guess you probably learned Mandarin (普é€Å¡Ã¨¯, pinyin: PÇ”tÃ…nghuà, since you said you couldn't read Chinese) since most schools in the US teach that, so I'm assuming schools in other countries do too. If so, it probably won't be much use to you in Hong Kong, most people speak Cantonese here. I'm just barely a teen, but I recently moved to Hong Kong (family of expats from the United States), so I could probably help you out about the practicalities of living in Hong Kong, but not about finding a job. I'd guess that it would help if you knew what type of job you wanted, though. You could probably get 'a job' anywhere in the world, if you try hard enough, but you might have some trouble getting a good job/jobs in certain fields around here if you don't speak Cantonese, though. Just out of curiosity, why do you want to move here? PS: When talking about yourself, the letter 'i' is capitalized 'wen' isn't a word, did you mean 'when'? There are apostrophes between the I and m in 'im" 'uk', 'chinese' should be capitalized 'hong kong' is capitalized, e.g. 'Hong Kong' 'wanna' isn't a word, do you mean 'want to'? 'tooken' isn't a word, do you mean 'took', or 'have taken'? There is a space between 'can' and 'not' in 'cannot', unless you mean 'can't' I assumed you meant that you meant "could I get a job in Hong Kong if I had around C's in gc's" as your statement asked whether you could get a job if you worked in Hong Kong. Therefore, your question presumably should have been worded: Well, I want to know if I could get a job in Hong Kong. I'm a teenager in the UK, and when I'm older I want to work in Hong Kong. For my GC's I have taken food and engineering. I can speak [Cantonese or Mandarin] but can't read and write in it, so my question is if I could get a job in Hong Kong if i had around C's in gc's? Just some friendly spelling advice from a 13-year-old.

UK, Hong Kong and Double Taxation

UK, Hong Kong and Double Taxation?
Hello, I currently live in the UK and have been contacted about a job in Hong Kong. Given the state of the economy in the UK I am very tempted to make the move and I have been to Hong Kong before so I know I will like the place. I do however have concerns over tax. Say I was to work in work in Hong Kong for only 8 months and had to return to the UK permanently for any reason (redundancy, family problems, etc) would I be taxed on my Hong Kong income when I return to the UK even though I will have already been taxed in Hong Kong? I understand Hong Kong is one of the few countries that the UK does not have a double taxation agreement with but it seems very unfair that you should be taxed twice on the same income, wherever it is earned. My intention of course would be to remain in Hong Kong for the foreseable future (and become UK non-resident for tax purposes) but you never know what can happen. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks John

Hong Kong has signed with many places no double taxation agreement, I'm not sure if she signs with the UK. If not then yes, you're required to pay around 15% salary tax which is among the lowest in the world.
2 :
Spend a whole year april to april out and you are non resident, and simply don't tell the UK government, I never do and when the UK government asks the HK government if they do, the HK government laughs and throws the letter in the bin. If you are stupid enough to declare it at both ends you get relief on the lower of the tax paid, but since HK tax is so low you'll get raped on UK tax.

If you have a B.S. degree or up, they are more than happy to see you working in HK.
2 :
If a foreigner is offered a job in Hong Kong, the employer ought to be able to sponsor him/her for the working permit, while the permit is being processed you could remain in Hong Kong. Hong Kong has entered an agreement with some countries like Japan, Germany, Canada etc for respective citizens working up to 1 year visa free in Hong Kong and vice versa, not sure if your country has entered a similar agreement with the Hong Kong Govt. As Hong Kong is quite an expensive place to live, it´s better to first secure a job there before pulling up your root. Check www.discoverHongKong.com and good luck!

I'm surprised you need a visa to visit Hing Kong As an american I need no visa to go to hong kong. I do need one to visit the mainland. But as others have said to stay you will need the help of your employer. They will need to provide letters stating you job title and approx length of employment.

Hong Kong: where to live? (rent vs transportation)

Hong Kong: where to live? (rent vs transportation)?
I'm not sure which is a better option. I'll be moving to Hong Kong for work soon but I'm not sure where to live. Keep in mind that I'll probably work in Hong Kong Island, and I party, and I don't have a car. Should I: 1) live in Shatin, where the rent is cheaper, will take MTR to work and such, but will have to take like a taxi home when it's after hours (after partying). or: 2) live in Hong Kong Island, where the rent is more expensive, but is closer to everything. With the public transit expenses conversely proportional to the rent, is it still more economical to just pay a bit more in rent to live in HK island?

My friend lives in Sai Kung, way out in New territories, and she has to take 2 buses, MTR, then another bus to work.! and she hates it! Its time consuming because in traffic, and peak hour, you are stuck for ages. I recently moved to HK island where it is more expensive but its very conveinient. You can rent a small place near Aberdeen, Ap lei Chau as those places tend to be cheaper for rent, and smaller as they are not so central . There are buses that go everywhere nearby, central, causeway, stanley, it is very convienient.! HKISLAND! hope that helped

IF it is an unlocked triband or quadband gsm phone , you should be able to use any tmobile or att sim and it should work fine. If it is a dualband and only has 900/1800mhz, send it back. It is useless in the-USA, we only use 850/1900mhz, totally different frequencies.

The late Lydia Shum or known as Fei Fei (Fat, Fat) weighed 250 lbs and was a big hit in HK. It's not so much about the weight and appearance, rather the fate, luck and the manager working behind that are more important in turning anybody into a hit, as in any entertainment business around the world. It's also better to master the Cantonese language otherwise your audience will be quite limited. Try approaching the "Father of Lan Kwai Fong", have forgotten his name, he owns many restaurants in Lan Kwai Fong. He's orignially from Canada and is currently the Chairman of the Ocean Park. Good Luck! Elena S below, apparently the work ethics and people's behaviors, mentality are extremely different between Hong Kong and the mainland.

I know this is not really what you're asking, but I second the response of the answerer above. Thailand is a great place for female impersonators. They have them in all shapes and sizes. There's several "ladyboy" shows that perform every night for tourists... and they have performers of all sizes.

"VISA easily"? I have never heard of such a thing. In reality it is a long, often excruciating process full of bureaucratic paperwork and setbacks. You've just listed 5 different countries. Each with their own set of rules on Visa eligibility. You have also neither mentioned your past work experience nor what area of focus you would consider. Sales? Technical Writing? Network Administrator? A more useful approach would be to narrow down your focus to 2, no more than 3 countries. And come up with a career position. Repost when you have more specific objective in mind.

no from my understanding you must file a return you are still a citizen example: father in law lives in AU, works in AU and he must file a federal return
2 :
The foreign earned income exclusion is an "election"--if you don't file, you haven't elected it. If your wage income is more than $8750, you have a filing requirement. If you are self-employed, the trigger is a mere $400--and isn't reduced by either form 2555 (foreign earned income) or 1116 (foreign tax credit).

Will I be able to obtain a work visa for Hong Kong

Will I be able to obtain a work visa for Hong Kong?
I am a 22 year old male from New Zealand where I am a citizen; when I get to Hong Kong I should also have a UK passport. I have a Bachelors Degree in Technology and this November I will complete a CELTA qualification ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CELTA ). Will These qualifications be enough for me to obtain a work visa in Hong Kong? I have no experience in teaching English however I am very good with people and I am a native English speaker. I will arrive in Hong Kong in mid to late December. If I can get a visa, how long do you think it will take? How long will it take me to find a job? Should I apply for jobs before applying for my visa? I know none of these questions can be answered definitely, but I would like to get the best idea I can of what to expect with respect to my situation, qualifications and experience level. I have read some info on the Hong Kong immigration website and I have read this http://gohongkong.about.com/od/businessbasics/a/work_visa_HK.htm article. The job type I will be applying for is English teacher/tutor. Please please, please provide reasons for your answers as I may use this information to help me decide if I should teach somewhere else in southeast asia to get some experience, before going to Hong Kong. Hong Kong is by far my first choise at the moment for a number for reasons.

It depends on the Job. You should be able too
2 :
you will be able to find work in Hong Kong very easily but once you have the job it will take around 8 weeks for the work permit to come through. You cannot apply for the visa the employer must do this so you must bring enough money to survive a few months before you get your first salary. Wherever you go in S.E. Asia you will find the same requirements unless you work for a ''shady'' employer

It sounds like your fiance has Filipino citizenship. She can bring her Filipino passport to the China Resources Building in Wan Chai and apply for a Chinese tourism "L" visa. Fiances are not eligible for immigration-related treatment, the way spouses and children are. In addition, even if you do get married, the fact that you have different nationalities may produce issues if you try joining her visa application to your existing business visa. I'm not saying that it can't be done, only that it may not go smoothly.
3 :
I would suggest that you get a letter of invitation from your employer, stating that you are full time employed and submit it with a copy of your marriage certificate to the Chinese office in Central. I have heard of Filipinos having to get their visas back home in which case obviously you would have to do it that way. A copy of a contract showing where you intend to live in China would also probably be beneficial to the application.
4 :
after marriage you will have a certificate which proves you two are hubby and wife so you will need to make a request in the place you work in case you have it stated in your contract... make sure they employer lets you bring family members coz some don't and even the fact of marriage will change nothing in this situation...

Can a Hong Kong passport holder stay and work in mainland China unconditionally

Can a Hong Kong passport holder stay and work in mainland China unconditionally?
My relative has a Hong Kong SAR passport & identity card with the right to abode in HK. Can he enter mainland china as frequently and stay as long as he wants? Is there any condition to him working there? If it is at all relevant, he is also a US citizen. Please attach the relevant links if possible.
China - 3 Answers

1 :
Hong Kong citizens do not need a Z visa as they have a right to be on the mainland. However, there are possible drawbacks,the employer would have to pay an extra 32% of your pay into a super fund and for health services, and you would have 12% of your pay deducted for similar services! And to be eligible for this special status you have to register within 10 days of starting employment. Go through this undermentioned link for precise details.Holding a US passport at times is disadvantageous visa viz the Hong Kong passport.
2 :
China do not recognize dual citizenship. So that person is either a US citizen or a Chinese citizen. For a US citizen, a visa is required to travel and work in China and that person has US protection. For a Chinese citizen living in Hong Kong, a 'home coming card' is required. Then the person can travel as frequent and as long as he/she likes. Anyone entering China with a home coming card, is not foreign citizen and will not get US protection, if that matters. Anyone working in China has to pay tax.
3 :
HK and Macau are special regions for China. You can be using both passport from boht HK and USA. Just use your HK ID card when you enters HK and use an USA passport when you travel. You cannot enter China with your HK ID or passport. For HKs, you can get a "Home Return Card" to enter China. The "Home Return Card" has a 10 years expiration day. You can stay in China as long as you wish, and you can work in China. I am not sure if there is any difference for taxes, and you may not get some benefits that China citizen has... You may want to use HK's yahoo answer to find out more. (knowledge.yahoo.com.hk)
