Family Matters:
Should I bring along my own family?
Before making a decision of bringing your family to Hong Kong, it is
important to consider the following issues:
• The airfare expenses for your family to and from Hong Kong
• Additional accommodation expenses as you need to rent a larger
flat
• Extra cost for food, clothing and other necessities
• Restricted employment opportunities for your spouse
• Provision of child care facilities
• Whether your children will adjust well to schools in Hong Kong
• English-speaking schools are mostly privately run and expensive
• The impact on you and your studies if your family is not happy in
Hong Kong
• Whether you come to Hong Kong first and arrange things for your
family, or bring your family to Hong Kong together with you
