If you want your immediate family members to relocate to Hong Kong with you, they will need to apply for a dependant visa. Our immigration team can help you get the visa for your family quickly and easily.
The dependant visa is a relocation visa for the immediate family members of foreign nationals (sponsors) who hold an employment or investment visa or who are permanent residents in Hong Kong.
The eligible family members vary in accordance with the resident status of the sponsor.
An application for admission of a dependant may be favourably considered if:
The length of stay of the dependants will normally be linked to that of their sponsors and any subsequent applications for extension will be considered only when the applicant continues to meet the eligibility criteria for dependants’ visa and the sponsor remains a resident or employee/investor living in Hong Kong. These dependants are not prohibited from taking up employment or studies.
It normally takes six weeks to process a visa/entry permit application for residence as dependant upon receipt of all the required documents.
