All full-time undergraduate students must have a valid student visa, i.e. the current limit of stay does not expire, for pursuing studies at the University. By breaching a condition of stay, one may be prosecuted by the Immigration Department and shall be liable on conviction to a fine at level 5 (HK$50,000) and to imprisonment for 2 years.

If your student visa will expire in 4 weeks, you are required to apply for 'Extension of Stay' at the Immigration Department. For details, please visit the website of the Immigration Department at:
