Apply for Working Holiday Visa while in HK

Who do you bank with in the UK? (Sorry if that wasn't clear the first time I asked). I'm assuming you're from the UK by your user name. Talk to your UK bank.

I am from UK yes, but haven't lived there for over 6 years. I've been living in Sweden, so my bank accounts are from there, I can try and phone them and see what they say

So if I understand you correctly, for the 'financial proof' you don't need a cashier order or bankers draft, just for the transaction of the visa fee?

Check this website for guidance notes on the working holiday visa, look under supporting documents.

Financial proof has to come from either a bank statement, saving accounts passbooks and the cashier order or bankers draft is for the payment of the visa fee.

It takes about an hour to open a Hong Kong bank account. You need your passport and proof of address. It's trivial, just get on with it!

If you still have bank accounts in the UK, First Direct or HSBC (the old Midlands) would be the most useful. But there are also branches of Barclays in Hong Kong (albeit only for rich people!).
