After two and a half years of working at my first job in Hong Kong I am actively looking into expanding my horizons. I have had a conversation with my company director over the past few months now and I have his blessing to move on. As I am gathering all of my move on information I have realized how little I know about being a worker in Hong Kong.
I think that my next employer will still need to process an employment visa before I can begin work. Can I work at my current job while the application is being processed?
Since signing up for my MPF I have never paid any attention to it. When I leave should I leave it with the current administrator (Fidelity) or transfer it to my HSBC total investment? I haven't read all of the fine print regarding the provisions but they all seem the same. And will I need to go with my next employer's MPF plan or can I arrange to pay it into my current plan?
Does anyone want to share their experiences?

MPF: You will need to go with your new employer's plan. You have the option to leave the old amount where it is or to consolidate it into your new plan.
My current employer, the IHT, uses yet another MPF provider. But at least that's just two banks I have to keep track of.
If I ever leave here, I'll probably transfer all my MPF to HSBC to keep it in one place.
