There is a shortage of local talents who can fill this special vacancy.

Sometimes, it is difficult for companies to prove that they can't find local people to fill job vacancies, especially when they are recruiting all over the world. However, the immigration authorities usually accept the certificates received.

If your employees want to bring their families to Hong Kong, they need to meet additional requirements. For example, employees must prove that they have a real marriage relationship, and children under 18 need to be raised. They need to prove that they have the financial ability to support their families and provide suitable accommodation. If spouses also want to work in Hong Kong, they can also apply for additional work permits.
