Q18. Do I need to apply for a new student visa upon resumption of study after deferment or zero subject enrolment if my current student visa is still valid?

If your student visa has not yet expired at the time you return to Hong Kong, unless your student visa is terminated by the Immigration Department, you do not need to apply for a new student visa to resume your study after deferment or zero subject enrolment.  You should follow the procedures outlined in Q6 to extend your visa before it expires.  However, if you have discontinued or withdrawn from your study at PolyU or you have been de-registered from your programme, you may need to apply for a new student visa to resume your study.
