UOW College Hong Kong

Non-local students generally need a student visa or entry permit after receiving an offer for an eligible study route. The applicant normally submits ID 995A and nominates a Hong Kong sponsor, commonly the admitting institution, which submits ID 995B. Eligibility differs for Mainland Chinese, Macao, Taiwan and overseas applicants and by programme type. Admission and payment do not guarantee immigration approval, and the Immigration Department may request additional evidence. The study route is not one of the fee table's specified talent schemes. Translation, certification, delivery, medical, insurance and institution service costs may be separate.
