Hi there,

thanks for all the useful info on the site - it's a real help as I'll soon be moving to HK from the UK.

There is one thing I haven't found an answer to though:

How easy is it to open a local bank account on a tourist visa?

In short, I am entering HK in March on a tourist visa, due to get married in June to a HK resident (after which we'll be applying for a dependent visa - I don't expect much trouble with that). However, I will carry on working for my UK company from March-June, and was thinking of perhaps getting paid into a HK account instead of my UK one (it would save me a lot in ATM fees). Does anybody know if this is feasible?

Thanks for any help!
