Hong Kong cracks down on tourists abusing visa rules
Original: Hong Kong cracks down on tourists abusing visas to run one-stop shop services
Hong Kong authorities are cracking down on visitors who enter on tourist visas but work as one-stop shop service providers, handling errands and business tasks that require employment authorisation. Officials say the abuse of visa-free entry arrangements undermines immigration rules and local workers. The enforcement push targets firms and individuals using tourists for services that should be carried out by legally employed residents.
Why now: Hong Kong immigration authorities have launched an enforcement action against visa abuse, drawing public attention.
