How should I apply for the student visa/ entry permit?

  • You can apply through HKUST by lodging your application via HKUST Visa System. The University will act as your sponsor. 
  • Please visit here for the application timeline and procedures.
  • For students from Taiwan, Macao or an overseas country, you may choose to file an application on your own (e.g. through the consulate general of your country). You will need to find a sponsor and make your own arrangement to collect the visa label.
