A Training Visa Application Hong Kong grants the applicant a valid visa or entry permit to enter Hong Kong for a limited period of time. It usually allows not more than a year or twelve months of training. There are special skill sets and knowledge gained in the training. These should be unavailable in the applicant’s host country or territory.
A Dependent Visa Hong Kong is a relocation visa. It is for the immediate family members of foreign nationals who hold a valid Hong Kong visa. The existing visa should be for employment, investment, training, or study in Hong Kong. It is also for permanent residents in Hong Kong.
