Hong Kong Visas
In general, unless a person has the right of abode or right to land in Hong Kong, he/she requires an entry visa/permit to work, study, establish or join in any business.
An application for an entry visa to enter Hong Kong for a visit (leisure, social or business) may be favorably considered if:
- The applicant’s bona fides are not in doubt;
- The applicant has adequate funds to cover the duration of his/her stay without working; and
- Where the application is for a transit visa/permit, he/she holds an onward ticket to the place of his/her destination.
For a sponsor who is a Hong Kong permanent resident or a resident who is not subject to a limit of stay (i.e. a resident with the right to land or on unconditional stay), the following dependants may apply to join him/her for residence in the HKSAR:
- his/her spouse;
- his/her unmarried dependent child under the age of 18; and
- his/her parent aged 60 or above.
A dependant may apply for extension of stay for residence in the HKSAR within 4 weeks before his/her limit of stay expires. The fee for ordinary visa is HK$ 160 and for transit visa is HK$ 84.
