Overseas
Applicant FAQ's
Visas
Successful
applicants will have their visa applications sponsored by Interpac.
The process in HK is straightforward and relatively quick, and
qualified people have no problem with successful applications.
Compensation:
Salaries in HK are
comparable and competitive to those in North America and Europe.
Cost
of Living:
You have no doubt
heard that HK is an expensive city to live. This is partly true, due
mostly to high property values which result in high rents. However,
this is more than compensated for by the very low
15% flat income-tax rate. After all balancing factors are
taken into account, cost of living in Hong Kong is reasonable.
Also, at the
present time HK property values are considered to be at the bottom of
a cycle, meaning that
at the moment rents
in HK are particularly inexpensive
by local standards, so now is a very good time for anyone
considering relocating to Hong Kong.
Language:
English is the
common language of business not just in HK, but across Asia Pacific.
If you speak or write any Asian language it can be useful, but it's
not required.
Lifestyle:
Most
jobs with Interpac involve some travel in Asia Pacific, so you will
experience a range of cultures. For Hong Kong specifically, here is a
brief summary of lifestyle, but for the detailed story check out the HK
Tourist Association.
Social
Work hard play
hard is the motto in this city. A large cosmopolitan and highly
motivated (i.e. high achievers) community of ex-patriates combines
with a blend of local and regional cultures. Clubs, bars, and an
incredible international restaurant scene combine to produce a social
life and night life that can make New York and L.A. seem downright pedestrian.
Sports:
Name your game,
it's here - Football (both kinds!), rugby, squash, hoops, softball,
tennis, 24-hour gyms, etc.
Adventure
sports:
You're in the
right place. You may be surprised to learn that in addition to being
a legendary ultra-modern urban centre, the territory of HK comprises
80% country parks with great hiking, biking and rock-climbing. Go
trail-running 15 minutes from your front door. Try the annual 100-K
Maclehose trailwalk competition, or do the Action
Asia Challenge. Surf Bigwave Bay or windsurf where Olympic Gold
Medalist boarder San-san Shan hangs out. That's just in HK. Here
you're right next door to a dozen tropical countries set in emerald
seas. Hop over to Nepal and go trekking or white water rafting, do
world-class rockclimbing in ko Chang, Thailand, dive the Philippines
etc etc etc. Point your browser to Action
Asia for the full scene across the region.
Arts
and Entertainment:
Annual HK Arts
Festival, Fringe Festival, Film Festival; HK Philharmonic and Ballet,
continual programmes of visitng artists and companies.
