Hi
I am an Indian and applying for work permit,i would like to
know
about the medical check-up,As i suffered from TB in
last Dec 2002 and completed the medical course now i
am perfectly fine,but my xray still some old marks.

I like to know that in this case my visa can be
rejected or if xray shows old marks then it can
considered as cured case.


Please help me in this regards i will be very thankful
to you
thanks

There is no requirement for a medical test as part of the Employment Visa process. If your propsective employer is asking for one then that is an issue you need to address with them - it is not part of standard Immigration Department procedure.

(Note though that if you are planning to come to HK as a Domestic Helper the rules are different - there a health checkup is required I think.)

You will get a 14 day visa to enter Hong Kong as a visitor. It is illegal for you to work during this timeframe and your employer (AXA in this case) is breaking the law if they let you work.

An employment visa takes about 4-6 weeks to process.

AXA is well known.
