What’s the Basic Income of a Typical Hong Kong Employment Visa Holder?

May 1st, 2012

Many employment visa applicants and the companies which want to hire them struggle with the question of what’s the minimum salary for visa approval?

The answer is quite easy really:

The target should be two hundred thousand hong kong dollars each year

This is the total value of the employment not just the amount of salary paid

So you can break it down into different heads of value

As long as it comes to about 200,000 hong kong dollars then the essential minimum will be met

 But bear in mind this is just the minimum

The more you get paid the easier it is to get approved!

    Dear Sir/Madam

    Would you mind please confirming if the minimum salary for a Work Permit Visa in Hong Kong is still $200,000 per year?

    I look forward to hearing from you.

    Kind regards
