Hong Kong Student Visa | Sponsor, Documents, Fees and Timing
Check the Hong Kong student visa sponsor, acceptance, documents, government issuance fee and processing time.
What should you do after receiving an offer?
Check the programme and visa submission instructions with the admitting institution. Nominate a local sponsor, which can be the institution or a qualifying Hong Kong resident who knows you and can support and accommodate you. Check the applicant and sponsor requirements in ID 995A and ID 995B.
What evidence should you prepare?
Gather the acceptance letter, valid travel document, photograph and financial evidence where applicable. Applicants under 18 should check parent consent, guardianship and accommodation documents. Additional identity records apply to certain applicants, including Taiwan residents.
What does the student visa cost and how long does it take?
The general visa issuance fee is HK$330. Ask the institution what any separate administrative charge covers. The Immigration Department normally takes six weeks after receiving all required documents. Allow additional time for school screening, submission and follow-up.
