Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
I have submitted my student visa application documents. How long will it take to obtain my student visa?
Once The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong (HSUHK) has received and verified all required documents, the University will submit the student visa application to the Hong Kong Immigration Department on the applicant’s behalf. Processing typically takes around 8 weeks, although it may take longer during peak application periods. For enquiries, please contact the Graduate School at pgadmission@hsu.edu.hk.
