Nonimmigrant Visas
General Information
|
In light of current H1N1 Influenza A outbreak, the U.S. Consulate General Hong Kong's Consular Section is taking every precaution to protect the health and safety of all of our customers. We therefore request that visitors experiencing flu-like symptoms reschedule their appointment until after the symptoms have subsided.
Nonimmigrant Visas: You may find instructions on how to reschedule your appointment by visiting our website at "How Do I Apply?" web page. For nonimmigrant visas, we generally have next day availability.
Immigrant Visas: Please contact us via "Visa Inquiry Form" web page to reschedule your appointment.
Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring the health and safety of all employees and visitors to the U.S. Consulate in Hong Kong.

As a service to our visitors, a booth selling coffee and light snacks has been set up on the patio at the ground floor entrance of the Consular Section. The booth is open from 8:00AM to 11:00AM. There are also vending machines selling bottled water and soft drinks.
Please note that food and drinks are not permitted inside the building. Visitors are welcome to use this service before they enter the building.

Macau residents do not need appointments - they can walk in daily from 8:30-10:30 a.m.
All visas are returned by Hong Kong Post. There is no same day delivery of visas. Most visas are delivered in 3-4 business days, but occasionally additional processing is required which may take 14-90 days. As such, please schedule your appointment as soon as your travel plans are made and as far in advance as possible.
