Re: Help! how to import baby formula to China for my children?

I saw in another thread you used to live here, do you have any friends here that could post them to you? HK post is very cheap fortunately. Although I am unaware of whether this is legal, I assume so.

Re: Help! how to import baby formula to China for my children?

Are you near to HK?
Most parents with this fear will go to HK to buy the stuff, if they are able to.

Re: Moving to Hong Kong in July

None of this has really much to do with the original question has it?

Meetup.com is probably the best bet, it is very easy to meet other foreigners in HK if you are social and friendly. There are...

He should be entitled to a Permanent HKID card which allows him to work and live freely in HK.
As to what kind of job he can get well that depends on his expectations but I'm sure with the right...

Re: I wonder how many people want to move back but can't afford to..

Well yeah obviously, I didn't say otherwise.
I'm just saying these forums are meant to be a source of advice and help, writing things as a fact when they are not a fact does the opposite of helping.

Re: I wonder how many people want to move back but can't afford to..

That's good to know the QM2 is still running, unfortunately it isn't really an option for us as we'd be departing from HK, but wondering if anyone has heard of traveling via sea freight ?

Re: I wonder how many people want to move back but can't afford to..

Re: I wonder how many people want to move back but can't afford to..

Other than the QM2 (Which I heard had stopped running), are there other dog friendly routes via sea available?

You can fly snub nosed breeds still but not all of the airlines will, a lot of the...

Re: Cost of moving and living

Costs of accommodation could literally range from $4k - 100+ k per month depending on so many factors.

Re: Hello and Help?! Question about length of stay and British Passport

The answer isn't black and white and re-entry is never guaranteed, that is why none of the embassies will answer you, I doubt immigration themselves would give you a direct answer.

Technically you...

Also if you are studying, your university may have a list of other students looking to share, or a list of local homeshares etc (or so I've been told).

Agencies from what I've seen do not deal with flat shares, more hassle for less commission.
