Extensions
of stay can be applied for when any sort if visa is due to expire, and
the complexity of the application depends on the type of visa currently
held, and the circumstances surrounding the application.
In
the case of an employment visa extension, if you are still with the
employer who sponsored your visa, then the application for an extension
of stay is a very straightforward process.
If
you have an investment visa, the application can range in complexity
depending on how long your business has been running and the successfulness
of your business. Business plans and turnover are key issues to
securing an extension. For an established business, the process
is, again, very straightforward.
If
you have a visitor's visa, the application for an extension of stay
must be justified to Immigration. They may also require some proof
of ability to support yourself whilst in Hong Kong.
