Visas for Dependents

Hi,

 

My company may offer me a job in Hong Kong, in which case they will sort out my visa but I worry about my partner. I know depedents of those with visas can work, but what is the definition of dependent? Do you have to be married, as we are not.  

Dependent

Can be a spouse (yes, you have to be married) or visa-holder's child(ren) under the age of 18 or visa-holder's parents over the age of 65.
