Hong Kong Visa Extension Office & Timings — Full Details for Nepali Visitors

For Nepali travelers who are already in Hong Kong and wish to extend their stay, the process is handled by the Extension Section of the Immigration Department of Hong Kong, located at Administration Tower, Immigration Headquarters, 61 Po Yap Road, Tseung Kwan O, New Territories. This section is responsible for all types of visitor visa, entry permit, and stay extension applications, including those for Nepali citizens visiting under the tourism, family visit, or business category. The office serves both walk-in visitors (who prefer submitting applications in person) and those who have already applied online and need to verify documents or collect approved permits.

As of 2025, the official working hours for the Extension Section have been updated to Monday to Friday, 8:45 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with a lunch break typically between 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. The office remains closed on Saturdays, Sundays, and all Hong Kong public holidays. This schedule was extended from the previous closing time of 4:30 p.m. to accommodate more international applicants. Applicants are advised to arrive early in the day to avoid long queues, especially on Mondays and after public holidays, when the volume of visitors is usually higher.

If you are applying in person, bring your original passport, printed e-Visa or entry permit, financial documents (such as bank statements or cash proof), hotel booking confirmation, and return flight details. For family travelers or dependents, relationship proof (such as marriage or birth certificates) may also be requested. The Extension Section generally processes visitor extensions on the same working day, though some complex applications may take longer.

For inquiries or appointments, visitors can contact the Immigration Department hotline at (852) 2824 6111, or directly reach the Extension Section at (852) 2829 3123 / 2829 3112 / 2829 3166. Fax communication is available at (852) 2586 1431. It is important to note that these phone lines are often busy, so the department strongly encourages using the online Extension of Stay service available at www.immd.gov.hk, which allows visitors to apply digitally, upload documents, pay online, and download the extended e-Visa from home.

Nepali citizens should plan their extension well before the visa expiry date, ideally 7 to 10 days in advance, to avoid overstaying. Overstaying in Hong Kong is considered a violation under Section 41 of the Immigration Ordinance (Cap.115) and may result in penalties, fines, or entry restrictions for future visits. Therefore, early preparation and accurate documentation are crucial for smooth approval.
