Hello, I am in most desperate need of help! I moved here from London just over a month ago to join an offshore wealth management company, i signed a contract for one year and was told probation period would be 3 months. They did not provide me with a work visa but told me I would be here on a "succumbent basis" arranged via Europe. The salary was commission only and I had to invest my own money to move. They now cut my contract short and I am in need of a new job as don't want to leave HK.

I'm a Psychology graduate with work experience in mortgage underwriting/brokering, retail banking and sales. Looking for anything to keep me here!

please please please help!

Many thanks

Hi Anna,

as per my knowledge you are now working ILLEGALLY in Hong Kong - it seems the company somewhat cheated you and you did not earn anything.

To find a correct job including the correct work visa is not too easy but also not too difficult - depends on your experience + field.
But for the work visa meanwhile many companies are not willing to do this "extra work" + you are not allowed to work in HK as long as your work visa has not been issued and you must come from outside into HK with this workvisa in your passport. Good luck.
