The visa application process differs somewhat depending on your education and training and whether you've already secured employment or plan to come to Hong Kong as an entrepreneur.  Hong Kong also has separate admissions schemes for people who live in Mainland China and want to come to Hong Kong as either an employee or an entrepreneur. In most cases, you must first have a job before you apply for a visa to work in Hong Kong. If you graduated from a Hong Kong university, you can get a visa valid for one year to look for a job in Hong Kong. If you find a job, you can then apply for a work visa. Hong Kong also has a special program for artists, musicians, and other creative professionals. Under this program, you don't need a regular employer in Hong Kong to apply for a visa. In most cases, your employer will sponsor your application for a work visa. They will verify that you have a valid employment offer and provide information about their business.  Sponsorship forms can be picked up at the Immigration Department office, or downloaded from the Hong Kong Immigration Department website. If you're coming to Hong Kong as an entrepreneur, you must find someone who is a Hong Kong resident and is willing to sponsor you. They can sponsor you individually as an applicant, or they can sponsor your company. The form you need to apply for a visa to enter Hong Kong as an employee or as an entrepreneur depends on the scheme you fall under. There are also separate forms for nationals of Mainland China. Get the appropriate application from a Chinese consulate in your home country, or download it from the Hong Kong Immigration Department website. Go to https://www.immd.gov.hk/eng/useful_information/admission-schemes-talents-professionals-entrepreneurs.html and click the link for your scheme to access the forms. Generally, you need a photocopy of your passport, proof of academic qualifications or work experience, and a recent, passport-sized photograph. Other than the photograph, do not send original documents as they will not be returned.  If you're applying as an investor, you must also submit documents, such as bank statements, that prove your financial standing. You also must submit business or investment plans and other evidence of your business activity.  Get any documents not in Chinese or English translated into one of those languages by a certified translator. If you have any dependents, such as a spouse or children, who will be living with you in Hong Kong, they require separate applications. With the dependent's application, you must provide a photocopy of their travel document as well as a passport-sized photograph. Provide evidence of their relationship to you, such as a birth certificate, guardianship papers, or marriage certificate. Applications may be mailed to the Immigration Department, or you can send them through your sponsor. Typically, if you have an offer of employment in Hong Kong, your employer will submit the complicated application for you. If you're mailing your application yourself, send it to Receipt and Despatch Sub-unit, Hong Kong Immigration Department, 2/F Immigration Tower, 7 Gloucester Road, Wan Chai Hong Kong. Typically, it takes about 4 weeks for visa applications to be processed. If the Department approves your application, you will be notified when and where to pick up your visa.  If you mailed in your application yourself, it will not be processed until the application from your sponsor has also been received. Approval is entirely at the Department's discretion. Your application may not be approved even if you meet all the criteria. When you receive notice that your visa is approved, you can pick it up at the Chinese consulate nearest you, or at the Immigration Department office in Hong Kong.  You must pay fees for your visa and entry permit when you pick them up. Payment can be made in cash, EPS (Hong Kong's electronic payment service), or with a check made out to "The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region." The fee for a visa is HK$190. Your entry permit, valid for one entry, is an additional HK$190.

Summary: Choose the appropriate scheme. Have your employer complete the appropriate application form. Complete the appropriate application form. Gather supporting documentation. Complete applications for any dependents. Submit your forms and supporting documents. Wait for the Immigration Department to process your application. Pick up your visa if approved.


This can work on wool, cashmere, angora, and mohair sweaters. You can also wash the sweater in hot water, but the cycle should be much shorter than a full cycle. Time it for 10 minutes and check on it every few minutes.   You can put the sweater in a pillowcase to prevent the fibers from snagging in the machine. Another way to fight fading is to turn it inside out. The heat will make the fibers tighten up, which causes the garment to shrink. To avoid shrinking your sweater too much, check on it every 6 minutes. Machine drying a sweater agitates the scales in the wool fibers, which makes the wool become shorter and thicker, causing it to shrink. Make sure it fits and didn’t shrink too much. If it’s too big, put it in the dryer again for 25 minutes and check on it every 6 minutes.  If you were checking on it regularly, it shouldn’t have gotten too small. Putting it in the dryer for 25 minutes with other garments will shrink the sweater down 1 size.  Look in the mirror at all angles to see if the sweater fits well. Observe if it feels too tight or is still a little loose where you want it to be form-fitting.

Summary: Wash your sweater on a hot cycle. Dry the sweater on low heat for 25 minutes, checking it every 6 minutes. Try the sweater on but put it in the dryer again if it’s still too big.


Check the moisture of the soil by sticking your finger down to the first knuckle. If it feels dry and doesn’t rain, water the hemp until the soil is damp 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) deep. Watering is the most important within the first 6 weeks of growth while the plant is still young. After that, hemp is drought-resistant and can survive without water for a few days.  Use an irrigation system if you’re growing a large hemp crop. Work on a warm, dry day so the fertilizer doesn’t stick to the plants, and only apply fertilizer once right after the seeds have germinated. Put the fertilizer down between the rows of hemp rather than directly on the plants. Water your hemp immediately after you apply the fertilizer so it absorbs into the soil. Though most hemp crops will block any weeds from growing, use a garden sprayer filled with pre-emergent herbicide on your hemp once it germinates. This helps protect your plants while they’re still growing. As of 2018, there are no herbicides or pesticides officially registered to use on hemp in the United States.

Summary: Water your hemp 12–15 in (30–38 cm) throughout the growing season. Spread a nitrogen-rich fertilizer over your crops. Spray a pre-emergent herbicide on your hemp.


If these fingers are equal in length the person has a good self-image and relates well in the world. If the Jupiter (first) finger is shorter than the Apollo (third) finger, the person lacked confidence early in life and is not totally sure of his or her worth. The shorter the finger is in comparison with the Apollo (third) finger, the greater the feelings of inferiority the person will carry around. If the Jupiter (first) finger is longer than the Apollo (third) finger the person will have plenty of confidence and ambition. The longer the Jupiter finger is, however, the greater the feelings of superiority he or she has over the rest of humanity.
Summary: Measured by the length of the Jupiter finger (first finger) compared with the Apollo finger (third finger) is the Degree of Self Worth.
