Hong Kong Visa Payment Method for Nepalese Applicants (Online & Offline Options — 2025 Guide)

In 2025, the Hong Kong Immigration Department has made the visa process easier and faster for international travelers, including Nepali citizens, by introducing a modern and digital payment system under the e-Visa arrangement. Whether you are applying for a visit, transit, business, study, or extension visa, the payment process is now primarily handled online, ensuring that applicants can pay safely and instantly from anywhere in the world.

Once a visa or entry permit application is approved, the applicant receives an email notification or result slip from the Immigration Department containing a secure payment link. Through this link, you can pay the visa issuance fee online using several methods. Accepted online payment options include Credit Cards (Visa, MasterCard, UnionPay, or JCB), the Payment by Phone Service (PPS), and Faster Payment System (FPS) for users with Hong Kong bank accounts. Applicants living outside Hong Kong can also pay using internationally enabled digital wallets such as Alipay, WeChat Pay, or UnionPay App, which are directly linked with the official GovHK portal.

The Immigration Department’s online portal is encrypted and secure, ensuring that all personal and financial information remains protected. After you successfully pay the visa issuance fee, you will receive a confirmation email and be able to download your e-Visa in PDF format. The e-Visa replaces the traditional sticker label, meaning you no longer need to visit the Immigration Department to collect your visa. This digital system significantly reduces processing time and helps ensure that travelers from Nepal can complete the entire process remotely.

For those applying for Extension of Stay (Visitor Visa Renewal), the payment method is the same. Once the Immigration Department approves the extension, you can pay the renewal fee online using your preferred payment mode and instantly download the updated e-Visa or stay permit. However, if you face technical difficulties with online payment, you may choose to pay in person at the Extension Section, Immigration Headquarters, located at Administration Tower, 61 Po Yap Road, Tseung Kwan O, New Territories, Hong Kong. Applicants must bring their original passport and reference number when visiting the office for manual payment.

From February 2025, under the new Specified Visa Schemes, all applicants are also required to pay a non-refundable application fee of HK$600 at the time of submission. After approval, the visa issuance fee is charged separately — HK$600 for stays up to 180 days and HK$1,300 for stays longer than 180 days. Both fees must be paid through the Immigration Department’s official online system or authorized payment partners.

For Nepali applicants, it is important to ensure that the credit card being used is activated for international online transactions, as many local Nepali cards require prior authorization from the bank to process overseas payments. Applicants using Alipay or WeChat Pay should verify that their wallet supports international cross-border payments. If any issue arises during payment, you can contact the Hong Kong Immigration e-Services Hotline at (852) 3128 8668 or general enquiry number (852) 2824 6111 for assistance.
