Can a UK resident apply for a 90-day Non-O Visa in Hong Kong?
Okay here's a question. My friend is here in Thailand he's going to leave to Hong Kong. He is a UK resident and want to apply for a 90-day non-o Visa in Hong Kong. Is that fine or does he have to go back to the UK since that is where his passport is from?
Answer summary
A UK resident cannot apply for a 90-day Non-O Visa at the Hong Kong consulate while visiting, as they require legal residence in Hong Kong. Instead, they can apply in a nearby country such as Laos or Cambodia, with Vientiane being recommended for its easier processing.

I got a Non-O based on marriage in Vientiane, Laos a few weeks ago. Easy peasy.
Since HK does not allow foreigners visiting to apply, I suggest Vientiane instead.

OPOkay Hong Kong won't work what is the easy country to get this done in? Cambodia or Vietnam? He has no problem going somewhere else to pull this off. Thanks

The consulate in HK don’t accept applications from foreigners visiting HK. He can’t apply in HK unless he’s got a current legal residence. He doesn’t have to go back to uk, but can apply in a nearby country.

Not sure about the policy of the Hong Kong consulate at to whether they’d need to show residence from Hong Kong before applying. Others may know. Plenty of other options in local embassy’s and consulates around Asia like Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam etc. No need to go to the UK.
