As long as your wife has the proper working permit, you can apply "Residence as Dependents".

And yes, your application can be done in Hong Kong. No need to do it in US. I have called the Immigration Department and confirmed this for you.

Enjoy your stay in HK!

 

Isn't pryuen from there also? He's the biggest rockets fan in the universe.

 

Native HKer here. Welcome to Hong Kong!:grin:

 

You don't know ****, I'll let this picture of the HK skyline to begin to prove you wrong.


is the best city in the world.

 

It's cheaper because living expense is cheaper. At least for Taiwan it is, HK is going crazy with real estate. I love how everything is so cheap in Taiwan, I can get a big bento for lunch for no more than a buck, and it isn't even fast food it's delicious as hell.

Also sorry for the double post, and my engrish.

 

The only negatives are the air quality/pollution and the miserable hot summers, other than that it really is one of the best cities in the world. I'm partial to Shanghai because I have so many memories there but HK is the ****.

 

Yeah the food is awesome in TW and the people there are MUCH nicer. It's not as crowded and you can have a quality life in TW. As a HKer I love TW more.

 

I could be wrong, but can't you also just head up to the Mainland for a shopping spree and come back into HK with a renewed 90 day visa free entry? Or are you not allowed to do that anymore?

 

I find the most economical foods are in New Territories, like Shatin. They have great restaurants that are usually pretty inexpensive. I find Central or HK Island in general to be way overpriced, although you can definitely find gems for cheap in Tinhau. Kowloon is a whole different story.

 

Yes, you can work as a secondment for your firms hk office provided that your hk office applies the working permit for you. In terms of income tax, I'm pretty sure i learned long time ago that the hk gov wont tax u as long as you prove that you have paid your tax to US gov already.
