My visa expires on December 25th. When it expires, I was planning to travel to Singapore (already booked the flight) for tourism under the travel bubble, which has now been delayed until January. I intend to apply for an extension of stay as a visitor in HK until the bubble is restored. I haven't dealt with the Immigration Department many times, so I'm not sure what to expect about the process or my chances. I'm not confident they will allow me to stay longer in Hong Kong since my reason for moving on to Singapore is just tourism.
What are my chances of getting a status change to visitor? If I do have a chance, how could I maximize it? And if they let me stay, for how long probably? It would be very unfortunate if the travel bubble was reinstated only a few weeks or even days after I was forced to return home, especially since I'm from the USA and wouldn't be able to come back remotely soon due to the poor Covid situation there.
Hope someone with more experience dealing with ImmD can help me out. Thanks!
