"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.

I am a U.S. Citizen working in Hong Kong for 2yrs. Is there an Expat Tax Refund

I am a U.S. Citizen working in Hong Kong for 2yrs. Is there an Expat Tax Refund?
I am not sure of the Tax Law name, but I believe all US citizens working out of the country do not have to pay federal income tax up to $75,000 of a persons salary. Is this true?

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

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
