Q6. In what situations should I apply for student visa extension in Hong Kong?

For Full-time students

  1. If your student visa is set to expire before the completion of your studies within the normal study period of your programme, you should apply for student visa extension at least 5 weeks before your current visa expires.
  2. If you are unable to complete a full-time programme at the degree level or above within its normal duration but expect to finish within one additional year, you should apply for student visa extension.
  3. If you have already received a one-year extension beyond your normal study period and have not yet completed your studies, you must submit a new student visa application at least 8 weeks before your extended visa expires in order to continue your studies at PolyU.
  4. If your current student visa or entry permit has expired, you must apply for a new student visa to continue your studies. Please follow the renewal procedures outlined in Q18.

For Part-time students

Student visa extension is not applicable to part-time students. Instead, you should apply for a new student visa at least 8 weeks before your current visa expires. Please follow the renewal procedures outlined in Q18.
