Q19: What are the changes in procedure/mechanism in applications related to FDH after the collection of levy is implemented?
A19: The prospective employer will need to complete the application form for employing domestic helper from abroad and submit together with the entry visa application form of the FDH, the duly completed standard contract (notarized, if required) and other necessary documents to the Immigration Department. The procedure/mechanism of processing the entry visa applications of the FDH remains largely the same from 1 October 2003 onwards except that every FDH who is allowed to work under a new contract in Hong Kong will be issued with a new entry visa to enable him/her to enter Hong Kong to commence a new contract including a renewed one. However, the Immigration Department may grant an extension of stay not more than one year together with an entry visa to FDHs renewing their contracts in cases where the employers have justifiable needs to keep the FDHs immediately after the expiry of the current contract. The FDH, nevertheless, must return to his/her home country for home leave before the middle of the new contract (i.e. before his/her extended stay expires) and come back to Hong Kong to complete the rest of the new contract on the strength of the entry visa.
You just tell her that that Immigration Department has set rules in respect of the arrangement of the Domestic Helper's vocation leave. Even you let her take leave before the contract finishes, you also need to arrange her to take vocation leave to return her place of origin upon renewal of contract.
