29 November 2022

The Immigration Department (ImmD) announced today (November 29) that with immediate effect, electronic services for visa application have been extended to all visa application types including visas/entry permits for visits, employment, investment, training, residence and study.

Electronic Services for Visa Application allows applicants to complete the entire process of application submission, payment and collection of visa/entry permits through the ImmD mobile application, the ImmD's website or the GovHK website, without having to visit an Immigration Office in person, thereby reducing crowd gatherings and protecting public health.

After the extension of electronic services for visa application to all visa application types, applicants may continue to use the existing methods to submit their applications and pay the fee. Regardless of the submission method, the eligibility criteria and the fees of relevant applications remain unchanged.

For further details on electronic services for visa application and the "e-Visa" arrangement, please visit the ImmD's website at www.immd.gov.hk/evisaonline. For enquiries, please call 2824 6111, or send enquiries to the ImmD by email at enquiry@immd.gov.hk or by fax at 2877 7711.
