Hong Kong Visitor Visa Transcript - for those people who prefer to read, rather than watch, the contents of the Hong kong Visa Handbook, we have prepared the following transcript of the A/V dialogue of our presentation Investment Visa - Preparing Your Case

Hong Kong Immigration Department form ID1003B is completed by the sponsor of an application for a visitor visa by those nationalities not afforded visa upon arrival privileges. The sponsorship form is fairly straightforward with only two sections requiring specific commentary and these are the sponsor’s details and the sponsor’s declaration.

Depending on whether the sponsor is an individual or a business, either subsection 1 or subsection 2 should be completed. If the sponsor is a company, the form will be executed by an authorized individual an accompanied by the official company chop.

Arguably the most important section on the ID1003B form is the sponsor’s declaration without which the application cannot proceed. The declaration at the bottom of page 1 must be signed as to the veracity of the information detailed on the sponsor’s form and the sponsor’s declaration on page 2 must be completed in full.

The critical course here is the representation by the sponsor that they assume the cost of repatriation of the visitor from Hong Kong in the event that the visit should go awry for any reason along with a certification that the applicant is in fact a suitable candidate for a visit to Hong Kong.
