Legislation:

Internships in Hong Kong are only allowed for international students enrolled in a full-time degree programme at HKUST (degree granted in Hong Kong). By legislation, exchange/incoming students holding a student visa are not allowed to work in Hong Kong since their degree is not granted in Hong Kong. However, in the case that employers are still willing to hire an incoming student for a job in Hong Kong (or when the student status or visa status has changed), the employers have the responsibility to take care of the work visa or related insurance issues for the students.

Requested documents:

Company support:

The recruitment for international students varies from company to company.

For graduates:

Persons who have obtained a degree or higher qualification in a full-time and locally accredited programme in Hong Kong may apply to stay/return and work in Hong Kong under the Immigration Arrangements for Non-local Graduates (IANG).
