Hong KongWe do our best to keep this updated as the rules change. Please cross-check with the relevant authority for the very latest details.
A finishing-contract helper is already working in Hong Kong and is in the last few months of her current 2-year contract with another employer. When that contract ends, she can transfer directly to your household — no flight home in between, no overseas processing.
Why employers like finishing-contract hires: • Faster onboarding — visa processing typically takes 2–3 weeks instead of ~6 weeks for an overseas hire • Lower cost — no return-passage airfare from her home country, and no overseas agency processing on top • Verifiable track record — she has completed (or is completing) a full contract in Hong Kong, so you can ask about her actual working experience with a HK family
How to plan the timing: start interviewing 2–3 months before her current contract's end date. Once both sides agree, the new ID 407 contract and visa application can be submitted so she moves to your home right after her current contract finishes.
On HelperDoc you can filter the marketplace by contract status to see finishing-contract helpers directly — every listed helper shows her available start date.
