How To Apply
Submitting Your Application
Visitors and Non-residents can submit their applications via mail/by hand to the Receipt & Dispatch Unit, 2/F Immigration Tower, 7 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong.
Current residents use the 5/F Residents Section of Immigration Tower but need to book an appointment first as only a limited number of walk in applicants are accepted each day.
Make an appointment here: www.gov.hk/en/apps/immdextensionstaybook.htm
Approvals are subsequently notified by mail and the applicant (or his authorised representative or sponsor in Hong Kong for on-forwarding to the applicant) will receive a visa sticker to be placed in the applicant’s passport prior to arrival in Hong Kong.
