LCQ18: Immigration arrangements for non-local students taking up short-term studies
| The ImmD would consider special situation of individual applicants on a case-by-case basis. The ImmD does not maintain the breakdown of other statistics mentioned in the question.
(3) As regards short-term courses, at present, the Government will only issue student visa/ entry permit to non-local person who has enrolled in full-time programme, considering that there are considerable differences among various part-time short-term courses in terms of teaching modes, hours of study, etc, which render it difficult to ensure non-local person issued with student visa/ entry permit will not misuse the visa to come to Hong Kong for non-study purposes. The Government has no plan to relax the requirements of student visa/ entry permit to cover part-time short-term courses.Issued at HKT 14:43 NNNN |
