Hong Kong Visas For 2 Week Visitor Nationals – Visas For Interns & Trainees

Posted by The Visa Geeza / in Employment Visas, Musing / 7 responses

On May 30, 2016 I gave a talk at the Russian Club Hong Kong on the types of Hong Kong visas available to those nationalities who are only granted a 2 week limit of stay as visitors upon arrival in the HKSAR.

This ‘2 week rule’ has a very real practical effect on citizens of countries affected and so this talk is designed is speak to nationals of such countries.

This 7th part of the talk discusses Visas for Interns & Trainees

How Important Are Photographs When Documenting Relationship Bona Fides in a Same Sex Partner Visa Application for Hong Kong?

Posted by The Visa Geeza / in Family Visas, Your Question Answered / 5 responses

It’s quite rare in most types of family visa applications that a single supporting document will definitively determine success or refusal.

Of course, if you claim to be married or a legal parent (for example) and seeking a legal dependant’s visa, marriage and birth certificates are an absolute prerequisite to establish proof of legal relationship. But where does that leave same sex partners who don’t qualify (alas) for this type of visa?

QUESTION

We are about to file for the long term visitor visa so that I can live in Hong Kong with my husband (married in the US when he was living there).

He’s a native of Hong Kong.

We’ve been together for 6 years, married for 3, but we have only a few photos of each other, and they’re all digital and so – undated.

The documentation of our relationship is quite solid – joint bank accounts, marriage certificate, testimony of family, proof that he was living with me in the US – but the photo issue is bothering me.

How important is it?

Thanks for all your great information!
