An initial group of 19 women -- drawn from around 200 expected over the next three months -- arrived in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory, said the agency which arranged their employment.
They are the first group legally in Hong Kong following a change last year to Myanmar's migration law as the nation opens up.
Some 300,000 helpers, mainly from Indonesia and the Philippines, are already in Hong Kong...
...Immigration Department data showed that 47 Myanmar nationals were already working in Hong Kong, but were brought in on an individual basis by fellow citizens with Hong Kong residency.
