Hong Kong visa
I had applied for pre arrival registration at it went unsuccessful.
So I had applied for e visa on 2 Aug and they asked me to submit additional documents which I submitted on 21 Aug. I am yet to get any reply from them and their mails are unresponsive.
Can someone say the normal turnaround time after submitting supplementary documents.
I had booked tickets for Oct 24 will they process my visa on priority since departure date is near.
For Hong Kong e-visas, the processing time can vary depending on the volume of applications and the complexity of your case. Typically, after submitting supplementary documents, it may take anywhere from 5 to 15 working days to receive a reply. In some cases, it could take longer, especially if additional verification is required.
The Hong Kong Immigration Department generally does not guarantee priority processing based solely on imminent travel dates. However, in urgent cases, applicants can contact the Hong Kong Immigration Department via their official enquiry channels and provide evidence of imminent travel, such as flight tickets, to request expedited processing.
Tips and recommendations:
- Keep a record of all submissions, including dates and reference numbers.
- Try contacting the Hong Kong Immigration Department through multiple channels: email, phone, or their official enquiry forms. Persistence can sometimes help in getting a response.
- If your travel date is very close, consider visiting the nearest Chinese consulate or visa center to explain the urgency and request guidance.
- Check if your airline offers any assistance for passengers awaiting visas, as they may provide advice or documentation support.
It is important to allow enough buffer time for visa processing and to avoid last-minute travel stress. In case the visa is delayed, have contingency plans such as refundable tickets or travel insurance that covers visa issues.
