Q12. Can I get a replacement of NOL if the original one has been lost, damaged or defaced?
If the “No Objection Letter” is lost/damaged, you should get a replacement from the Immigration Department. Mainland students may request the Quality Migrants and Mainland Residents Section for the issuance of a fresh NOL at no fee. Other non-local students may approach the Extension Section for the same formalities. You may refer to Question 34 of Employment during the Study Programme on the webpage of Immigration Policy on Study. For enquiries, please contact the Immigration Department by email at enquiry@immd.gov.hk or by phone at 2824 6111.
