Hi folks,
Any lawyers on here who had to apply to be admitted as a Registered Foreign Lawyer in HK? If so, how long did it take for you to receive the certification from the date of application please?
I ask as I understand that the RFL certificate is a condition precedent to getting the visa from immigration so unfortunately the whole visa process (which I understand usually takes 4-6 weeks) appears to be insufferably elongated as a result. I have been advised by HR that on submitting the two applications, I should expect the whole process (ie to first get the RFL certificate and then for immigration to grant the visa) to take 8-12 weeks.
Many thanks for your responses.
