Bio
Asheefa Sarangi, CFA
Stephen and his team are an absolute pleasure to work with. Having them in your corner throughout the visa application process is very comforting. Stephen himself is incredibly knowledgeable, funny, compassionate, fair, a straight shooter and laser focused on helping you solve your problems/achieve your goals. His website is such a great resource as well. I highly recommend Stephen and his team and I would work with them again in a heartbeat. Thank you!
Simeon Krastev
One of the most incredible people and professionals that I've met in my entire life. He has a very analytical, systematic approach to solving every matter and situation. Deeply cares for both his employers and customers. He sees in people more than they see in themselves and is always on the giving side. Conducting business with him or partnering up on a project is the best decision you can make. If you have an immigration case in Hong Kong you need to have handled, he is the go-to person!

The culmination of more than 30 years' combined experience in the professional practice of Hong Kong visa and immigration advisory matters, the Hong Kong Visa Centre is the business which my business partner Martyn Penny and I established in 2010 to take advantage of technology opportunities reshaping the immigration services landscape.Our flagship product is the Hong Kong Visa Handbook which is 100% free service of our Firm.In the 11 years since 2010 we have mastered the art of delivering huge value to our relationships, for free, and in the process proven an entirely new way of providing a professional service that befits the Connection Economy the arrival of which has finally been heralded by the 2019 COVID pandemic. It is a little known fact that 90% of all Hong Kong visa applicants who instruct immigration consultants to help out on their cases never meet their advisors face to face: the service is almost exclusively provided remotely via the internet and telephone.Consequently, technology can now be leveraged very cost effectively to allow visa applicants to take control of their own cases by providing them with industry-standard knowledge resources for free via the Hong Kong Visa Handbook and then stand ready to help out, for very reasonable service fees, with intellectual and professional case input based on years of visa and immigration expertise.Under our Connection Economy business model, our clients can save more than 80% in professional service fees whilst we still retain the necessary profit margins to remain a commercially attractive business proposition.It just makes sense.Overheads are kept very low (no fancy offices), case management practices are fully systemised (removing the traditional inefficiencies endemic in the Hong Kong visa services industry) and clients pay only for the real value in the relationship with their advisors, namely, our expertise, knowledge and experience.
