Cost of Living

Most Expats live in Midlevel’s, Hong Kong. It has the most Western Style restaurants and living.


A typical small 1000 Square foot apartment cost between 35-75000 HKD per month.

HKA has never offered accommodation allowance.


Google the most expensive cities in the World. And Hong Kong will be in the top 10 every time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_cities_for_expatriate_employees
It is not about how much they pay you, but how much you will save after high rents and cost of living for Expat people.


Got Children? A decent English speaking International school costs about 10-15000 per month, per child.
