Visa Requirement

Print
Generally speaking, if you wish to study in Hong Kong and you do not have right of abode or right to land in Hong Kong, you need  to apply for a HKSAR student visa.

Student visa holders cannot take up work in Hong Kong unless they have got a “No Objection Letter” from Hong Kong Immigration Department. Violation of the conditions of stay is a serious immigration offence.

For international students (except summer programme participants) and Mainland research students, please contact Centre of Development and Resources for Students (CEDARS).
