Hi All,
I was wondering if HK Immigration extends visitor permit to stay more than once.
I was allowed to stay for 14 days initially. When that expired, I went to the Immigration Office in Wan Chai to apply for extension and was allowed to remain for another 14 days - this will expire on Sun 27Sept2009.
My husband, who's living and working in HK, wants me to stay in HK while we wait for my dependant visa (I applied for dependant visa 2 months ago, unfortunately, it looks like waiting time of a week or two is still needed).
My husband suggested to apply for extension of stay the second time. Does immigration usually approve this type of request more than once?
I'm going to immigration today and will check status of my visa application status. If it can't be processed until Friday this week, I'll attempt at another extension.
I hope it works, otherwise, I'd have to fly back to my country or do a Macau trip. Macau trip sounds ideal, however, I'm havong second thoughts since this might affect my visa evaluation or I might be questioned a lot at Immigration at HK/Macau Ferry.
Wish me luck. Any advice would be lovely.
Cheers
PS: When applying for extension, do not use "waiting for visa" as a reason to extend stay.. Got scolded by immigration officer
