Hong Kong Working Holiday Visa
The Hong Kong Working Holiday visa is for individuals seeking to work, travel and holiday in Hong Kong for up to two years.
The working holiday visa is a fantastic chance to experience Hong Kong in a whole new way; as a tourist you can be limited in what you can afford to do whilst abroad and also by the inability to experience a huge part of life in another country. With the working holiday visa you can truly experience Hong Kong in all its glory.
Hong Kong has agreements with many nations for their work and holiday scheme. Within the scheme, applicants between the ages of 18-30 may stay in Hong Kong for a maximum time frame of one year, apart from Austria for which the maximum stay is 6 months.

Why a working visa?
Travelling can be very expensive, by applying for a temporary working visa in Hong Kong you can fund your own journey. It helps you to earn money whilst you have an entirely new experience and it can also allow you to do more whilst you are in the country.
