Section 41 of the Hong Kong Immigration Ordinance states that ‘no person, irrespective of his or her income, shall work without obtaining permission from the Immigration Office.’ This is a provision of the Hong Kong Immigration Ordinance. Section 17I of the Hong Kong Immigration Ordinance imposes a fine of HK$50,000 and two years’ imprisonment on illegal workers and a fine of HK$350,000 and three years’ imprisonment on employers who allow illegal workers to work.
根據《香港入境條例》第41條規定：「不論是否有收入，未經入境事務處許可，不得從事工作。」根據《香港入境條例》第17I條，非法受僱者將被處以5萬港元罰款及2年監禁；僱用非法受僱者的僱主，則將被處以35萬港元罰款及3年監禁。
此外，據說一旦申請失敗，第二次申請將變得極為困難，因此委託專業人士代辦較為安全。申請獲批通常需時4至6週，建議盡早開始準備申請事宜。
