There are several institutions you can contact in Hong Kong, here are some examples:

But you can also look into your own home insurance company, the one you already had or some other to see what they can provide. Usually they would insure you for some time when you arrive but then you would have to change status when you start working there and actually living there, not just as a tourist.

You can also see with your bank and a bank in general as they also provide some health insurance services sometimes that could be an ideal transition period for you before getting a proper via your work or a specialised health-care company.

Again be aware that health costs a lot in Hong Kong along the line of the USA so make sure you know what you are doing.

Expatriate health insurance in China

With so much to deal with before leaving your home country, (taxes, moving house, paperwork etc.) the careful planning of your expatriation to Hong Kong is an essential step. As far as healthcare is concerned, your local social security scheme won’t be accompanying you to your host country and, once abroad, you might be surprised by the care system you find in China. So, before leaving, make sure you have appropriate cover!

EasyExpat.com works in partnership with APRIL International to provide specific insurance solutions for travelling or staying outside your country of nationality.

Insurance solutions to suit your profile and with the flexibility to meet your insurance needs

Designed for either short or long stays, APRIL International’s insurance policies offer protection against any problems that might arise before departure or during your time in China: cancelling your trip, medical expenses following an illness or accident, needing to be repatriated, causing damage to a third party or losing your luggage.
