Hi Twister

You can only apply for a work permit once you have employment. It is theoretically possible to look for a job once in Hong Kong but the employment market there is incredibly competitive and the risk that you'll come up empty handed is very real.

The good news is that there are a host of online portals that allow you to apply without having to take that risk.

Have a look at our Working in Hong Kong and Visas for Hong Kong pages to get a better idea of how things work.

Good luck!
