Hi, I'm wondering if anybody can help me to figure out what I have to do.
I need a Hong Kong student visa and the course will start on September the 1st. Currently I'm waiting for the offer letter (without it I cannot apply). I know that the procedure takes at least 6 weeks, and the University suggested me to apply for the student visa diretcly in HK, but they told me that without the student visa I cannot register. It doesn't make sense at all to me.
Therefore I'm asking: how long does it take to get the visa directly in HK?
I know that after I'll get the visa I have to take a trip to Macau and then enter in Hk, but there is no guarantee that they will convalidate my visa. Is it true?
What kind of solution is that? How can a University advise a student in this way?
