4. About VISA/entry permit application

a) I am notified of acceptance by the Summer Workshop. What kind of VISA / entry permit should I apply to come to Hong Kong?
For participants who come from Mainland China, please apply for the standard tourism VISA. Since you are not yet the students in CUHK, "student VISA" is not applicable. Also, the Individual Visit Scheme (自由行) may help those who live close to those authorized 50 cities in the mainland (For more information, please visit: http://www.tourism.gov.hk/english/visitors/visitors_ind.html). If you need a formal invitation letter to apply for a VISA/entry permit, please make the request to us by email. For participants who come from other countries, please follow the guidelines of your home countries.

b) Processing time
It normally takes 4 weeks to process a visit / transit visa / entry permit application upon receipt of all the required documents. Students are responsible for obtaining their visa / entry permit in time.

For more information about VISA / entry permit, please visit the website of HKSAR Immigration Department: http://www.immd.gov.hk/hkt/services/visas/visit_transit.html
