What Chance of Approval For A 3-6 Month Intern Visa For Hong Kong & What Documents Are Needed?
Intern visa for Hong Kong? Internships for foreign national students seeking experience in Hong Kong are getting ever more popular…
QUESTION
Hi,
Our company is trying to hire an intern on a short 3-6 months internship.
He holds a British passport.
If he meets all the criteria on the Hong Kong Immigration Website, will there be any chance he will still be rejected for the visa?
On top of it, the government requires the sponsoring company to be a well-established company, capable of providing the proposed training, how can we prove that when we apply for him?
Do you have any tips on helping an intern apply for a training visa successfully?
Many thanks.

You have to reapply for a 2nd internship. Visas are issued for on internship at a time and are not transferrable from project to project.

Hey,
I’m from USA and I just accepted an offer to work in Hong Kong. HR told me that they would apply the working visa for me under the GEP. Since the interview process took quite long to finish, could I submit updated resume to go with my application or just use the old resume to go with my visa application?
Thank you for all your help!

Use the updated version.

Hi !
I’m currently an exchange student at The University of Hong Kong and have accepted a summer internship programme to work for 2-3 months.
My student visa expires in July and I understand I cannot work on this visa or apply for a Non Objection Letter as I am not a full time non local undergraduate.
Therefore, how would I go about extending my visa for employment for a short duration ? I am I eligible for the working holiday visa as I hold both a British and Irish passport, however will this not be possible as I’m already on a student visa, residing in Hong Kong. I have been here since September 2019. Is my only option available a training visa or can I extend to working holiday ?

My colleague has replied off line. WHV is the way to go.

How much is the total for the training visa in Hong Kong? and are there any ore expenses?
The Visa Geeza
ImmD fee is HKD190. No other official expenses but you may need to translate any of your documents not in english or chinese into one of these languages and that might cost you.

Hello! I am a US citizen hoping to intern in Hong Kong this summer. It seems like as a US national I’m not eligible for the working holiday visa? The documents I plan to send are:
• Form ID 992A (with passport-sized photo attached)
• Passport info page photocopy
• 1 extra passport-sized photo
• Official university transcript
• Letter from school verifying I’m a current student in good academic standing, with basic details of my specific degree program (it’s a specialized professional architecture program, B.Arch)
• Contract from previous internship at NY office of the same firm
• US tax form W2s from my previous internship and my on-campus student teaching job (I listed both on pg 3 of the application as “relevant work experience)
• Updated resume
Should I include anything else? And is there a chance that I will be denied the training visa? The company is a large, established, international architecture firm, and I’ve worked there in the past. They told me to send them my documents and that they will submit everything together themselves. If I include a bank statement, is there a minimum amount that I should have in there?
Thank you for all your help!!
The Visa Geeza
This should be enough. ImmD may ask for more but you’ll discover this while your application is ongoing.
