If I go to Hong Kong on a tourist visa and then find work do I have to then leave Hong Kong?
Plan to go to Hong Kong on a tourist visa (as a UK citizen can stay for up to 6 months). Then hope to find work and sort that out in Hong Kong - would I have to leave Hong Kong? If so where would I have to go? Macau would be OK.

You should be sort out things easily if you got a job in Hong Kong. For more actual information, you can see here, or give HK immigration a call to ask about: http://www.immd.gov.hk/ehtml/id991.htm As far as I know, Hong Kong is more than happy to take talented people. If you have a B.S. degree or up, they are more than happy to see you working in HK.

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? (keep in mind... the after hours when MTR is closed)

HK island, for sure. I used to live in TST and that was okay, i took the MTR most of the times, but your right, after 2 ish, buses stop running, and the MTR fisnihes, and Taxis are the only option, and to be honest, it all adds up in cost! 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
