Q: Does anyone know a bank in Hong Kong we can open an accout with even though working in China?

Does anyone know IF there is a bank that we can open accounts in Hong Kong with. All the online info is too basic.

Hopefully someone here has opened an account there before.

Thanks

Any of them and you don't need a HK address. Just use proof of address in the mainland and a passport. I bank with Hang Seng but they all follow basically the same rules. The only things that foreigners cannot do is obtain any form of credit (they will not do that without a HK identity card) and deposit/move renminbi (you can send CNYbut you will have to exchange to HKD or other foreign currency).

many americans retired in china use a business card from the mainland and a passport to open a bank of china account in hong kong for their social security direct deposit, bank of china in the mainland does not have the ability or concern to arrange direct deposit.

Q: Can a Z visa holder do graduate studies in China while working?

A: Good question! I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside

A:Good question! I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside working full-time as an E.T. with Residence permit, you don't interfere with your full-time employment.It's your free time and you can do anything you want, with respect to the Chinese laws and customs. Have a look at terms of Z visa/Residence permit and ... ".. you cannot work (and earn monies!) with another employer ..."That's all it is! Your RP sponsor title is written on the RP stamp in your passport, I think. It's in Mandarin, so I've heard about that from someone ...At I.D.-ing by cops, they know where you work and than more details about you are just a phone call away ... and it happened in person ... LOL ... during the day-time stroll through Wulumuqi, Xinjiang, 2012/13 semester. Now under RP, you're free to surf Internet, jog, ... and study, too. I suggest, you look and ask at the Uni, you plan to study in the future. Have a detailed look at requirements for studying and attending chosen Uni.Good luck! -- icnif77
