Do you take care of the Visa/Permit for France? Any email address to get in touch?
Unfortunately we cannot get visa for new employees at this point. So we can only accept applications from people who are authorized to work in Hong Kong or France. From my understanding, applying for a visa in France is very complicated but it is manageable in Hong Kong.

I updated my profile with my email address.
