Application for Student Entry Permit

All non-local students must obtain a student entry permit in order to study in Hong Kong. When JIRS students apply for the JIRS Visiting Scheme Stipend or the Visiting Student Allowance, they would need to possess a full-time student visa in order to visit HKBU for academic activities. Students are recommended to apply for the JIRS Visiting Scheme (with a longer visit period) first such that short-terms visits could be easily arranged within the valid period of the visa (usually one year). The application for student visa should be made at least two months before student’s departure for HKBU.
