What you need

  • Photo spec: For some visa types, a passport-sized photograph (35mm x 45mm, white background, neutral expression) may be requested. Check the specific requirements for the application method.
  • Biometrics: Biometrics (fingerprints) are not typically collected for Hong Kong visa applications prior to arrival. They may be collected upon arrival at immigration if required.

  • How to apply:
  • Application should be made to the Hong Kong Immigration Department (ImmD) or through a Chinese Embassy/Consulate in your country of residence or a nearby country.

  • Completed Visa Application Form (Form ROP1).
  • Passport with at least 6 months validity.
  • Recent passport-sized photograph.

  • For employment or student visas, supporting documents from the employer or educational institution.
  • Submit the application to the designated Chinese Embassy or Consulate.
  • Payment of the visa fee.
  • Attend an interview if requested.
  • Collect the visa once approved. This will be a sticker in your passport.

Fees & processing time

  • VFS/BLS service fee: Not applicable as applications are processed through embassies/consulates.

  • Standard processing time: Typically 4-6 weeks, but can vary depending on the embassy/consulate and the complexity of the application.
  • Express/priority option: Not generally available for Hong Kong visas applied for through embassies/consulates.

Tips for Angola travelers

  • How far in advance to apply: It is advisable to apply at least 2-3 months before your intended travel date due to potential processing delays.
  • Common rejection reasons for Angola applicants specifically: Insufficient financial proof, unclear travel purpose, previous immigration violations, or incomplete application documents are common reasons for rejection. It's crucial to provide thorough and accurate information.
  • VFS/BLS vs direct embassy application: Applications for Hong Kong visas for Angola citizens are processed directly through Chinese Embassies or Consulates, not VFS or BLS centers.
  • Any current travel advisories or bilateral notes: Always check the latest travel advisories from your government and the Hong Kong Immigration Department before planning your trip. There are no specific bilateral notes that exempt Angola citizens from visa requirements.
  • Extension options inside Hong Kong: Visa extensions can be applied for at the Hong Kong Immigration Department before your current visa expires. This is subject to the Immigration Department's discretion and specific conditions.
