• Please note the absolute condition precedent to securing an extension under the Capital Investment Entrant Scheme is maintenance of your qualifying asset portfolio and your ability to make a declaration to this effect.
  
  
• Capital Investment Entrant Scheme Visas are not ‘extended’ strictly speaking but are ‘renewed’. This means that the original application forms (for both principal and dependant family) are completed once again and a supporting declaration made as to the ongoing maintenance of your qualifying asset portfolio.
  
  
• You use HKID forms ID967 for the main applicant and ID99& for accompanying dependant family members, as well as Declaration Form SF/IMM/1611/
  
  
• You need to start preparing your application paperwork 35-40 days before your visa is set to expire.
  
  
• Follow the guidance on the Hong Kong Visa Extension Kit * and submit your application 30 days before your visa expires.
  
  
• You can process your extension application on the 7th FLOOR of Immigration Tower on a walk-in basis only (no prior appointments or online applications are allowed) which means you will likely have to wait a while so it is preferable to go early in the morning.
  
  
• Simply follow STEP 1 through STEP 5 above using the templates, flowcharts and guidance contained in the Hong Kong Visa Extension Kit.
