Even though Hong Kong is now part of China, the application process for a Hong Kong study visa is different from China. Students who wish to study in Hong Kong will need to apply for admission in Hong Kong. After the admission is confirmed the student will have to pay the fees to the institute and the institute will apply for the study visa for the student. In some cases, the student will not have to pay the fees in advance but instead will have to show proof of funding which includes bank statements. Hence, the student would not have to visit the Chinese Embassy and can travel with the e-visa. However, when the student arrives in Hong Kong, he or she would have to visit the immigration authorities to verify the documents.
Once you have understood the funding requirements of the institution you have applied to and complied with them, the application process is handled entirely in Hong Kong. However, make sure you travel with the documents that you need otherwise if immigration can’t verify them successfully you may be denied entry.
A few months after your application has been submitted, universities will get back to you with their answers. You will be notified over email or university website about the outcome of your application. We will discuss these outcomes with you in detail and keep your priorities in mind, we will arrive at the final university which you will be attending.
Now that you have everything ready with you, you can apply for your visa application (Form ID995A). You should do this as early as allowed as visa applications can take very long to process as the documents and form need to be couriered or faxed. Your sponsor has to fill the Form ID 995B to be submitted along with your application. We will be filling out your application form and helping you navigate the process.

It's a good idea to apply as early as possible to account for any potential delays and to ensure you receive your visa in time for your planned departure.
As I was applying for the Hong Kong student visa, I realized that it was too complicated and I needed help. I had already got admission into a university so I decided to approach KGC. The KGC team was very polite and patient with me and told me what to expect from the visa process and how I should prepare for it. Without their help, I would have missed something along the way and it would not be possible for me to study here. I am glad there are people such as Karan Gupta guiding students to study in all countries around the world.
