    Student & working visa

    Hello everyone, its my first post. I am moving to HK in mid august and going as a student, i thought my uni would help me out in getting the visa. but they informed me yesterday that I need to do it mostly myself im in England now and don't know what number to call or what to do. Also can you get a working student visa for hk? thanks in advance for any contributions

    nope, you cannot get a student visa that allows you to work. although, there may be exceptions (ie. you can work on campus etc).

    you need to visit the IMMIGRATION dept website. i'm sure if you google it, you will find what you need.

    it isn't really all that difficult, just remember that folks in hk like to "tick" all the boxes, so make sure you provide everything asked for the first time and you better get a move on it or you may miss the start of school.
