Notes for non-local students:

All students without the right of abode/right to land in Hong Kong must apply for a student visa for the purpose of education from the Hong Kong Immigration Department (ImmD). It is the responsibility of individual students to make appropriate visa arrangements before they come to Hong Kong.

"Non-local students" are students holding (a) a student visa/entry permit; (b) a visa/entry permit under the Immigration Arrangements for Non-local Graduates (IANG); or (c) a dependent visa/entry permit, who were 18 years old or above when they were issued with such visa/entry permit by the Director of Immigration.

All student visa applicants are required to have a local sponsor. While admitting to HKU, students are required to nominate Admissions Office (AO) of the Registry to be the visa sponsor. Details on Student visa application procedures can be viewed at https://www.studentvisa.hku.hk/. There are two routes of online visa application:

(a) Application from PRC mainland students: https://studentvisa-mainland.hku.hk

(b) Application from international/Macao/Taiwan students: https://studentvisa-overseas.hku.hk 

The usual processing time for application of a student visa is approximately 2 months.
