All candidates for the Cadet Pilot Programme must be a holder of a Permanent Hong Kong Identity card. We accept applications globally for Second Officer and First Officer positions and successful candidates will be sponsored for their Hong Kong employment visa.
I second what
trigonometry says as I applied using a visa too. However, I do think when they state "right to live and work", you need to have a visa on your own and not provided by Cathay (this is my understanding), or else, anyone around the world who is eligible for a visa, can join the program which would drastically change things.
