Shihua charges up to 500,000 yuan, while Eurasau collects undisclosed ‘service fees’, for providing fake employment records, including payslips
At least two employment agencies offer allegedly bogus jobs to mainland Chinese talent in Hong Kong to help them secure visa renewals for a fee of up to 500,000 yuan (US$70,200), the Post has found, amid a peak period of visa expirations under the government’s top talent scheme.
Tactics deployed by the agencies included offering employment contracts and payslips without requiring actual work, as well as fabricating evidence of meetings – all designed to help mainlanders extend their stay in Hong Kong.
“You don’t need [to work], but you’ll need to act as if you are actually employed. For example, you should attend an online meeting every month. Our side will send you some work reports to share through company accounts regularly,” an agent told the Post reporter via WeChat.
“When you renew your visas, you could show these [records] to immigration authorities to prove that you are a disciplined employee.”
