    Can I renew the dependent visa through internet??

    Hi guys,

    I guess this question been asked many times.. but I've been digging thread after thread and still couldn't find the answer, also no luck in checking the immigration website, so I'm just hoping someone could answer me here..

    My dependent visa will be expired on 3th Nov this year, so I have few questions:

    1) can I get the renewal process done through internet? Or I have to physically go to the immigration office to do it? (I remember a girl told me that I could go through internet but I just couldn't find the link for the visa renewal on the hk immigration website...)

    2) Normally how long it takes for the dependent visa to be renewed?

    3) Can I start the renewal now? Is it too early? ( I'll be out of HK from end of Sept and be back early Oct)

    4) Normally what kind of documents needed for renewal application?

    Thanks in advance for all your help & input!!

    1) Yes, online. You didn't look very hard in the immigration website.
    2) Depends if you have all the documents they ask for, maybe 2-4 weeks.
    3) You can apply 1 month before the visa expires.
    4) The online application lists all the documents you will need.

    Hi EMX, Thanks so much for your answer!
    Indeed I think I look quite hard in the immigration website that I looked into it for 2 days.. but guess I was so distracted by packing for the moving the same time so I must have overlooked it... :P

    Anyway I'm starting to fill the form now, Thanks~!!
