VISA AND IMMIGRATION-RELATED MATTERS

VISA MATTERS RELATED TO TRAVEL

International Students Traveling to Mainland China
The student visa issued by the Hong Kong Immigration Department does
not entitle you to enter Mainland China. To enter Mainland China, you must
apply for a Chinese Tourist Visa from China Visa Application Service Center
or through any China Travel Service (Hong Kong) Ltd. Branch.

Mainland Chinese Students Traveling Overseas HEALTH CARE
Mainland Chinese students who wish to travel overseas should ensure they
have a valid passport. The passport application should be made to the Public
Security Bureau of your province/city or at the Office of the Commissioner
of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the PRC in the HKSAR. The Entry Permit AND
issued by the Hong Kong Immigration Department allows for entry to Hong
Kong only, and is not a travel document for traveling overseas.

Taiwanese Students Re-Entering Hong Kong INSURANCE
Taiwanese students will be issued a single-journey entry permit to take
up studies in Hong Kong. After entering Hong Kong on the single entry
permit, you may apply for a “Multiple Entry Permit” (MEP) at the Hong Kong
Immigration Department and transfer of endorsement onto the MEP to
facilitate your future travels to and from Hong Kong.
