| Abstract | Immigration consultancies operate in a regulatory "grey zone". With Hong Kong's growth a springboard for people wishing to emigrate, and with growing anxieties attached to the 1997 handover, the immigration consulting business has mushroomed in response to the demand for "facilitator services". The danger is that unlike other professional service groups, such as lawyers and accountants, immigration consultants are not bound by any industry body with a code of ethics, nor controlled with licence and bonding requirements by governments, whether that of Hong Kong or other countries. |
