Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Minimum Allowable Wage for a domestic helper?

The government sets a statutory Minimum Allowable Wage that is reviewed periodically. We'll confirm the current rate and food allowance requirement when preparing your contract.

Can I hire a helper who is already in Hong Kong?

Yes, subject to the helper's current visa status and any applicable waiting periods after a previous contract ends. We'll review the specifics of your situation.

How long does the visa process take?

Standard processing is typically 4–6 weeks from submission, depending on the helper's home country and Immigration Department workload.
