Hi Gillyannabelle

I would advise you to look at our Moving to Hong Kong guide in preparation.

Also have a look at our sections on Lifestyle in Hong Kong and Kids in Hong Kong, in order to familarise yourself with what you and your family can expect.

Best of luck with your move,

Alex

Hi there and welcome to your new adventure As a relocations and Real Estate Agent I see plenty of new mums with small kids coming to HK and while a little daunting you will find plenty of support. Firstly I suppose your company will be looking at a short term lease apartment, check the area and there are alot of playgroups to choose from. I usually hook up new mums and I hear them swapping notes quickly over wine and things. You can actually work - as a dependent spouse You are welcome to message me for more information [email protected]
