Visa applications for non-local students
Participants are required to obtain a valid entry visa to enter Hong Kong. A formal invitation letter will be issued to all selected participants, which can be used to support their visa/entry permit application. As participants are not yet registered students of CUHK, a student visa is not applicable.
For participants who come from Mainland China, please apply for standard tourist visa. Residents of designated Mainland cities may also visit Hong Kong under the Individual Visit Scheme (自由行).
Details are available at:https://www.tourism.gov.hk/en/visitor_ind.php
Processing a visit visa, transit visa, or entry permit typically takes 6–8 weeks during peak season, starting from the time all required documents are submitted. Applicants are responsible for ensuring that they obtain their visa/entry permit on time.
