Visa no degree but good experience - just some advice please

Hello everyone.

I have worked in London in the Insurance industry for 4 years. I am young (24) but held a quite a demanding and well paid job. I talked my way in without a degree or previous experience and managed to do very well (with lots of hard work of course!).
I am now doing a 'stop-gap' living in Thailand teaching teachers before I continue with my career.
I am interested in coming to Hong Kong.
I have excellent references from my previous employer and some good contacts.
Basically finding the job shouldn't be the issue here but I am concerned about the visa situation.
Is there a chance that I could get a visa or is it as strict as say Singapore, and almost an impossibility?

Any thoughts or suggestions will be welcomed!
Thank you for taking the time to help.
D

Send a message via ICQ to freeier
if u can get a job, sure, why not, the employer will sponsor you a visa.

As Freeier says - long as you can get a sponsor why not?

I'm in the same boat as you (24, well paid, worked my way up the industry without a degree) and I got a visa.

Good luck
