| de facto partner visa problems......
Hi there
I am about to start work in HK with a visa, but I am not married to my live-in partner of 3 years (de facto), who is from Latvia in Eastern Europe. She is not due to come to meet me in HK til mid-March.
She is 24, no degree but is fluent in English, Russian, Latvian and Danish and a bit of Spanish, and has been working as a secretary in London for the past few years for a company that organises conferences for oil and gas companies.
I am really open to suggestions as to what sort of work, if any, she might be able to get over here. I am going to approach some Russian companies and also the consulates of Russia and Denmark. Apart from that, I am at a loss as to how we are going to get around her visa issue. We don't want her to have to leave and come back in every 3 months....... and we don't want to get married just for the sake of paperwork.
FYI, we have the paper trail to prove our living together over, and joint bank accounts too.
All help appreciated. If your answer even solves our problem, I'll shout you a big dinner........!
Thanks
