Hong Kong Visa Applications

Most nationals do not require a visa to visit Hong Kong. However, if you have never traveled to Hong Kong on your current passport then please double check.

If you do require a visa then our Hong Kong based associates Sea Air Logistics have kindly volunteered to assist with visa applications and act as the required local sponsor (necessary when applying for a Hong Kong visa).

1. Check to see whether you need to obtain a visa at http://www.immd.gov.hk/ehtml/hkvisas_4.htm
2. Applicants must download form ID 1003A from http://www.immd.gov.hk/ehtml/fvisit.htm and fill in all sections except for “5. Sponsor in Hong Kong” (this section will be completed by Sea Air Logistics who will act as your sponsor).
3. Scan the completed form as well as all required support documents such as photographs, bank statements, invitation letters, passport, etc and email them to the following person:

   Ms. Ruby Yuen
   Sea Air Logistics
   ruby.yuen@sal.hk
   Tel: +852 2376 3818
   

   Invitation letters (if required) can be obtained by emailing to conference@worldcargoconnections.com.

4. Sea Air Logistics will print out your application form, fill in section “5. Sponsor in Hong Kong” along with another form (applicable to sponsors) and submit everything directly to the Department of Immigration in Hong Kong on your behalf.
5. Sea Air Logistics will also pay all applicable visa application fees on your behalf and WCC will invoice you for these fees at a later date.
6. Your visa (if granted) will be couriered to your office by Sea Air Logistics. Therefore, please ensure that you provide the correct mailing address on your application forms. WCC will invoice you for these courier fees together with the visa application fees at a later date.
7. Your visa will be in the form of a sticker and you will be required to insert it into your passport yourself.

Please note that Sea Air Logistics has graciously offered to volunteer their time and resources to assist all delegates so that you have a better chance at securing a visa to attend the WCC event. We kindly request you to ensure that you correctly fill in the forms and submit ALL the required supporting documents to Sea Air Logistics in one go.

Please also note that the only way to contact the Department of Immigration in Hong Kong to follow up on visa applications is by email so we kindly request you not to chase Sea Air Logistics for a speedy outcome as they too will only be able to follow up on your visa application by email.

Very Important!

• Please ensure that you start your visa application process immediately and do not put it off until the last minute. It can take citizens of some countries up to 30 days to process their applications.
• We encourage you NOT to apply for Hong Kong visas through Chinese embassies and consulates located near you. Experience has proven that this process is very slow, unreliable, and we are not able to assist you to follow up on your application.
