Non Immigration O Visa In Hong Kong

[SiamSquare123]

I want to get the marriage support visa in hong kong. what documents do i need, including photo copies? Thank you.

[astral]

Marriage cert - original and photocopy

Wife's id card, or passport (if available). (photocopy)

That is the minimum.

Best to have a Thai bank account with 400K, in hand in case you are asked.

Some embassies do ask, but I do not recollect seeing a recent report from HK.

You will probably only get a single entry visa and will need to extend in Thailand

after showing a family income of 40K per month, minimum.

I received my Multi entry "O" visa yesterday from the Embassy in Seoul, however they also asked for a copy of my wife's House registration book. I did not have that but I did have her passport, ID card, our wedding certificate and my son's birth certificate. I explained that their (Thai Embassy in Seoul) website did not specify the House registration book as a requirement, and they accepted this point. The young clerk offered a Single entry "O" visa so I again mentioned their website, which indicates 200,000 won for a Multi entry "O" visa. The delightful young lady made a quick phone call and then apologised for the misunderstanding.

A rather simple and pleasant experience with the Thai staff in Seoul.

I mentioned a Single Entry visa as that is often all the consulates will give.

The web site may say multi-entry, as does the Immigration site but that does not obligate

the embassy/consulate to issue the same.

Each tends to have its own interpretation.

From my own experience HK is not very helpful.

It is good to have the good news from Seoul.

The Seoul website does not seem to mention Non Immigration O visas, but it does show that the cost of multiple entry Non Immigration visas.

Hong Kong stopped issuing any visa to anyone who don't hold a full Hong Kong or Macau ID card approximately 3 months ago. The piece of paper you once got at the airport is no longer accepted. I suggest contacting them before you travel on the email below

Just to clarify that "ANY visa to anyone without HKID" doesn't include SETV (successfully applied by my sister today, without HKID).
