Grand Opening of U Select in Sheungwan!

Last week a new shop opened right in front of our Sheungwan office: U Select.

In Hong Kong, when a shop or a company opens, you will see many flowers and decorations standing in front as you can see on the picture attached. Most of the time, there will also be a dragon dance during the day. It is supposed to bring good luck and prosperity to the newly open business!

U Select maintains its decorations for a couple of days. This is affordable and it contains many Tesco products for our greatest pleasure! Come by our Sheungwan office to visit our nice co-working space and have a look to U Select for some snacks to keep on going with your day.

What kind of business entrepreneur are you according to commitment?

In the book ‘The Life of an Entrepreneur in 90 pages’ is described 3 kinds of entrepreneur’s style according to their commitment.

Part Timer: they work obviously full-time, but only 40 hours a week based on a labor-based system as in the 1860’s.
Full Timer: they work obviously more than part timers since they are looking at the market, their competitors in order to develop their businesses the right way.
All The Timer: they could be involved day and night in their business as they are fully passionate and involved in it!

What kind of entrepreneur are you? We would be curious to know and help you out to get some more free time to focus on your business while we are taking care of the administrative procedures.

您属于哪种类型的商业企业家？

在《90页企业家的生活》一书中，根据他们的了解，描述了三种企业家的风格。

兼职：他们显然是全职工作，但基于 1860 年代的基于劳动力的系统，每周只有 40 小时。
全职员工：他们的工作显然比兼职员工多，因为他们着眼于市场和竞争对手，以正确的方式发展业务。
全天候：他们可以日夜参与他们的业务，因为他们充满热情并参与其中！

INAG（非本地毕业生移民安排）签证

我想分享我作为香港大学应届毕业生的经历。作为一名全日制海外学生，我可以留在香港从事非本地毕业生移民安排（IANG）下的专业工作。

我不需要在申请时获得工作机会，也能获得了 12 个月的逗留期。 2016 年夏末毕业，在我的学生签证于 2016 年 11 月到期前不久申请了 IANG。

据官员称，处理应届毕业生的申请可能需要大约两周的时间。就我而言，我在不到一周的时间内收到了签证。在等待IANG签证批准期间，我正在享受香港，做运动和观光，因为我们不允许“签证期间”工作，并建议不要离开香港。

所需文件为：
1. ID 990A，
2.近期照片，
3. 生物识别护照页，
4. 最新入境印章，
5. 香港身份证复印件，
6.毕业证复印件。

IANG visa

I want to share my experience as a fresh graduate from the University of Hong Kong. As a full-time overseas student, I could stay in Hong Kong for employment as a professional under the Immigration Arrangements for Non-local Graduates (IANG).

I was not required to have secured an offer of employment upon application and was granted 12 months’ stay. Graduated in late summer 2016 and applied for IANG shortly before my student visa expired in November 2016.

According to officials, it could take around two weeks to process the application of a fresh grad. In my case, I have received my visa in less than a week. While waiting for the IANG visa approval, I was enjoying Hong Kong, doing sports and sightseeing, as we are not allowed to work “inbetween visas” and are advised not to leave Hong Kong.

The documents required are:
1. ID 990A,
2. a recent photograph,
3. biometric passport page,
4. latest arrival stamp,
5. a copy of the HKID,
6. a copy of the graduation certificate.
