I got my visa! TODAY!! Now I can REALLY start applying for work. However, of course it's a twist... Since my passport expires in May this year they could only validate a visa til April 30, 2013. So just three months. And I cannot apply for a Hong Kong ID card yet either, because they will only issue that to me when I have a visa that is at least 180 days. Sigh... Yeah, who thought about that? I should have just gotten a new passport earlier, but what the hell, the world doesn't end due to extra paperwork now, does it? Not my world anyway, just to deal with it and move on.
We may be going to Japan in February so I cannot apply for a new passport just yet, have to wait til we get back. So here is what we need to do (like we haven't dealt with enough paperwork).
1. Apply and get a new passport from Swedish Consulate in Hong Kong, (takes 2-3 weeks).
2. Apply for an extension of my current visa, (takes up to 4 weeks).
3. Apply for a Hong Kong ID card (takes up to 2 weeks).
THEN I feel like I can really relax with all this crap. I hope this doesn't create any problems in getting a job. Keep your fingers crossed!! :)
By the way, if you know anyone in Hong Kong who is looking for a fantastic Marketing Assistant or Customer Service Representative, please let me know!
