How long it will take to get Hong Kong tourist visa?

It takes about four weeks no matter you apply from Chinese embassy or the HK Immigration Department directly.

Hi Bill,

I have submitted a HKG "visit" Visa application for my wife (on Sept 18th) who has a Vietnamese Passport at the Chinese Consulate in Sydney. It has been about 2 weeks now. We are leaving on our Asian holiday from Sydney on Oct 17th to Malaysia, Vietnam and then HKG on Nov 1st.

I have submitted all the necessary supporting documents (flight itinerary, hotel bookings, bank statements, etc.) It has now been almost 2 weeks and no replies or update as yet.

Can you suggest any options on how to follow up to ensure we will be able to get a result in time before we leave on Oct 17th ?

rgds,
Nino.

Nino, you can track the processing status through the official website of HK Immigration Department or via the hotline (852) 3160 8663.
