Channel News Asia: Hong Kong said on Tuesday (Sep 18) it will recognise overseas same-sex partnerships when granting dependent visas, more than two months after the city’s top court ruled that a British lesbian should be granted a spousal visa in a landmark judgement.
International banks and law firms operating in the global financial hub have been keen to see the easing of visas rules for partners in same-sex relationships in the interests of strengthening Hong Kong’s ability to attract global talent.
