| Visas to teach in Hong Kong You can apply for a Working Holiday visa, however it's only offered to Australian, New Zealand or Irish passport holders. Furthermore, there is a set quota per year. Doesn't help you I know as you hold a Canadian and Czech passport. Full information on work visas in Hong Kong can be found at the Hong Kong Immigration Dept's website. The visa application form ID(E) 936 can be downloaded direct from the website too. There are special rules for you too if you are applying as a resident from Taiwan. I'm assuming you do hold a "residence" status in Taiwan. (Be it permanent or non-permanent residence status.) Documents needed to apply for an employment visa are:
I wouldn't be too concerned with the process as the responsibility mainly lies with the employer. The employer will know what to arrange and how to submit all the necessary documents.

| Re: Visas to teach in Hong Kong Hong Kong visa can be applied by foreigners wishing to travel to the Embassy of Hong Kong or consulate. Obtaining a Hong Kong work permit and visa is increasingly more difficult for foreigners in the face of increasing unemployment.One needs to have a special skill or knowledge to have a good chance of getting a visa for Hong Kong. Employment Visa is for a foreign employee to work in Hong Kong. The company is required to provide a fixed monthly salary to the employee. Hong Kong Immigration Department will not consider pure commission basis salary, part-time or freelance employment for an employment visa application. The key consideration for an employment visa application is the relevant working experience and academic background of the applicant; meanwhile the employing company is required to proof that they cannot possibly find a local candidate to fill up such position |
