Hello,

At the moment I am in Hong Kong as a visitor. Recently I have found a job here and I applied for the working visa. All the papers from me and the company have been filled in and submited with all the required documents to the Immigration Department. However, I have noticed now that my passport will expire by the end of april 2011. Will this be an issue when obtaining a visa? I can get a new passport trough the consulate and I heard they let you have the old one for the visas. Although I have also heard that ones passport has to be valid for at least six months after the end date of the visa. On the government website I can't find a single thing stating anything about the validity of ones passport when applying for a visa. I am a bit curious about what will happen in the coming weeks, wheter I will get a visa or not.
