Hong Kong Conference Visa for Nepali Delegates – Invitation Letter & Sponsor Rules (2025)

Hong Kong Conference Visa for Nepali Delegates – Invitation Letter & Sponsor Rules (2025)

Nepali citizens who plan to attend international conferences, business summits, academic events, or trade conventions in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) must obtain a Visit/Conference Visa or Entry Permit before traveling. Since Nepal is not among Hong Kong’s visa-exempt countries, all Nepali delegates must apply in advance through the official online visa application portal of the Hong Kong Immigration Department.

According to the Immigration Department’s official guidelines, a Conference Visa is categorized under the Visit Visa/Entry Permit scheme. It is issued for the purpose of attending or speaking at international conferences, seminars, or exhibitions, and is valid for a short stay only. This visa does not authorize employment, business operations, or paid work in Hong Kong.

To qualify for this visa, the applicant’s bona fides must not be in doubt, they must have sufficient financial resourcesto cover their stay without working, and hold a valid onward or return ticket. Delegates are also required to provide a formal invitation letter from the conference organizer or hosting institution in Hong Kong, which clearly mentions the applicant’s name, passport details, conference title, dates, and venue.

A local sponsor is not mandatory but highly recommended. If provided, the sponsor must be an individual aged 18 or above or a registered company/organization in Hong Kong. The sponsor’s letter helps the Immigration Department verify the applicant’s identity and the authenticity of the invitation. Sponsors are responsible for ensuring that the applicant complies with Hong Kong’s visa regulations during the stay.

Documents Required for Hong Kong Conference Visa:

  • Valid passport (minimum six months’ validity)

  • Recent passport-size photograph

  • Completed application form ID 1003A

  • Sponsor form ID 1003B (if applicable)

  • Conference invitation letter from organizer in Hong Kong

  • Employer or institution letter from Nepal confirming participation

  • Proof of financial means (recent bank statements)

  • Confirmed flight ticket and hotel/accommodation details

  • Proof of registration or event pass (if applicable)

All documents must be uploaded in JPEG, PDF, GIF, PNG, or TIF format (each file under 5 MB).

Processing & Payment:

After online submission, an acknowledgement email is sent within 7 working days. Processing usually takes around 4 weeks after all documents are received. If no update is received within 10 days, applicants can contact (+852) 2824 6111 or [email protected]. Once the application is approved, a payment link is issued via email. Payment can be made online via GovHK, FPS, PPS, or credit card, after which the e-Visa can be downloaded or printed. Delegates must present both their passport and e-Visa (digital or printed) at immigration upon arrival.

For those who prefer physical submission, applications can also be sent via post or through the nearest Chinese Embassy or Consulate.

NEA Cuts Power to 25 Industries; 20 Shut Down, 16,000 Workers Affected The Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has disconnected the power supply to 25 industries across the country that were operating through dedicated feeders and trunk lines, citing long-pending arrears of Rs 5.48 billion. Among them, 20 industries have been forced to halt operations completely, while five others remain partially functional. Two of those had already suspended production earlier, two have reconnected after starting installment payments, and Shivam Cement has managed to continue production by running its generators.

Nepal Sees NPR 35 Billion in FDI Commitments in First Quarter, But Actual Investment Still Trails Behind

Nepal Sees NPR 35 Billion in FDI Commitments in First Quarter, But Actual Investment Still Trails Behind In the first three months of the current fiscal year 2082/83, Nepal has received foreign direct investment (FDI) commitments amounting to NPR 35.13 billion, according to data released by the Department of Industry (DoI). Between mid-July and mid-October, a total of 311 projects were approved with foreign investment pledges, signaling a steady interest from international investors despite ongoing economic challenges. The month of Ashoj alone witnessed commitments of NPR 4.94 billion through 54 new projects. Among the total commitments, seven large-scale, four medium, and 300 small-scale enterprises were approved for investment. Officials from the DoI noted that Nepal continues to attract the highest number of small-scale ventures, showing the growing interest of small foreign entrepreneurs rather than large multinational companies. The tourism sector has emerged as the top recipient of FDI pledges this quarter. A total of 103 tourism-related projects received commitments worth NPR 1.46 billion, reflecting investors’ optimism in the post-pandemic revival of Nepal’s tourism industry. Many of these projects are focused on hotels, adventure tourism, eco-lodges, and hospitality-related services.

Nepal’s Banks Struggle with Loan Recovery Amid Festive Delays and Liquidity Pressures

Nepal’s Banks Struggle with Loan Recovery Amid Festive Delays and Liquidity Pressures Nepal’s banking and financial institutions (BFIs) are facing a critical period as they prepare to publish their first-quarter financial reports for FY 2082/83 (up to mid-October). The Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) has extended the reporting deadline to Kartik 21, citing the impact of the festive season and operational challenges. Previously, banks were required to publish within seven days of the quarter’s end. This extension provides some relief, especially as the central bank has also allowed income from collections made up to Kartik 15 to be counted in the first quarter’s earnings. However, despite these measures, banks are under mounting pressure due to sluggish loan recovery, weak credit demand, and excess liquidity.
