• The exact documentary requirements for extending your visa under the Immigration Arrangements for Non-Local Graduates can be quite complex where you are making your very first application for an extension.
  
  
• If this is your very first application for an extension, the Visa Extension Kit is not suitable for you as you will need to submit additional forms and documentation which goes beyond the scope of this free resource. *
  
  
• However, if this is a subsequent extension and there have been no change in circumstances ** since your visa was last extended, then getting your extension is really just an administrative exercise (for both you and your dependants) and this Visa Extension Kit is suitable for you.
  
  
• You use HKID forms ID91, ID481A and ID481B.
  
  
• 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 choose to start your application entirely online or submit it in person but book your appointment via the web.
  
  
• Alternatively you can just walk in to the 5th FLOOR of Immigration Tower without an appointment but you might have to wait in this case or even come back on another day if the quota for the day is full.
  
  
• Whichever process you decide to adopt, you simply follow STEP 1 through STEP 5 above using the templates, flowcharts and guidance contained in the Hong Kong Visa Extension Kit.
