Help the Hong Kong Immigration Department
Help You!

Somewhere among the 200,000 entry visas, 52,000 visitor visas (not issued at the airport or boundaries) and the more than 300,000 visit permit applications received from Taiwanese residents annually, falls your Hong Kong visa application!

Each year, from out of this melee emerges 25,000 employment visa approvals, 5,000 non-local graduates visas, 200-300 business investment visa approvals, 18,000 family visa approvals and 7,500 permits issued under the Mainland Talents and Professionals Scheme.

Anything you can do to make your case as strong as it can be, allow it to stand out amongst ImmD's general case workload and make it easy for the examining Immigration Officers to apply the approvability tests and assess the strength of you as 'human capital' able to make a valuable contribution to Hong Kong can only be a very good thing.

And that's where the Hong Kong Visa Handbook comes in.
