Visa, Internship, Part-time Job Issues for Non-local Students

In general, non-local students admitted to take up studies in the University will be granted a length of stay in line with the normal duration of their study programmes, subject to a maximum period of six years upon entry and the validity of the travel document held.

If the validity of your travel document could not cover your whole study period, you are required to apply for extension of stay 4 weeks before the limit of stay expires.  You may apply in person or authorise in writing a representative to submit the application to the Immigration Department directly.  However, you must be physically in Hong Kong on the date of submission and on the date of collection of the e-visa.

For further information, please visit the following website of the Immigration Department:

Starting from November 1, 2024, the Government will temporarily exempt full-time non-local undergraduate students from the restrictions on taking up part-time jobs with a view to enhancing their personal exposure and knowledge for working in Hong Kong to incentivise them to stay in Hong Kong for development after graduation.
