Student Visa from Nigeria to Hong Kong
- A foreigner who wants to stay and study in Hong Kong will require either a student visa or a student residence permit.
- Student visas are handled very much like work visas. To get a student visa, your sponsoring educational institution will need to apply for the visa on your behalf.
- To apply for entry to Hong Kong for study, the applicant should nominate a local sponsor. This can be the educational institution granting the acceptance for admission or an individual over 18 years old living in Hong Kong.
- Your educational institution or University might help find a local sponsor for you.
- The validity of the student visa, if granted, will be in line with the normal duration of the study programme. To apply for a visa, your passport must be valid for six months or more from the date of intended entry.
- Applicants must be able to provide proof that they have sufficient funds to last them the duration of their study.
- The passport photograph used during application must not be more than 6 months old.
- Both Form ID 995A and Form ID 995B which can be downloaded online must be completed and signed by the applicant.
- To prove that you can afford your education and living expenses while in Hong Kong, applicants are required to declare a proof of funds of up to HK$120,000.
