Hi,

Question about activating work visas --

Is there a time period within which the work visa needs to be activated?

My work visa apparently got approved much earlier than expected and my move to HK got delayed slightly. I won't be physically relocating until January 08.

Will this 2+ month delay pose a problem?

Thanks.

hi there! if you look on the label, there should be a date which the visa must be activated on or before. on ours, there was about a 3 month time frame from the date of issuance and the date of which it had to be activated.

hope this helps & good luck!

Thanks, LA Bliss. That does help.

My employer-to-be hasn't couriered the visa over yet, so I haven't seen the label.

Hope your move from LA goes smoothly. I'm moving from San Diego.

hi wesleytobey, it's so wonderful to meet a fellow so. californian! our move date is dec 07 and we're currently in hk searching for apts. when we initially started the relocation process, it was so confusing but the good people on geoexpat really helped out a lot so please let me know if you require any additional information.

the very best of luck to you!
