    Hello leehang,

    The *applicant* needs to be in Hong Kong when applying for an extension, but the *sponsor* can be outside Hong Kong. (The sponsor must sign the forms, but they could Fedex them).

    The applicant and sponsor must be residing together in Hong Kong, but temporary travel, and problems returning due to the COVID-19 emergency, will not invalidate this (unless the sponsor has spent a long time outside Hong Kong during the last 12 months — in this case you may struggle to convince the Immigration Department that the sponsor is really residing in Hong Kong).

    Hope this helps!
