Canadian passport holder and Hong Kong permanent resident. Interested to apply for DTV in Hong Kong.

Any idea how long this will take? Going the digital nomad route and keen to hear if others have found this process smooth in Hong Kong.

Thanks!

Hello Hong Kong friends, I have a question about applying soft power DTV in Hong Kong. After reading some posts, it looks like Muay Thai is not easy to apply, as they ask for follow up questions.. How about cooking? Better success rate? For those who have done it successfully, can you let me know the school, please? Or DM is also fine. Do they need you to provide an address proof in Hong Kong? Thank you.

For Hong Kong applicants:

Before applying, many people said Hong Kong was difficult to apply to, and even the cooking schools asked me to avoid it.

However, if you're a Hong Kong resident, don't hesitate to apply there. It will just take longer, about a month. There's no need to apply in other countries, as flights and hotels also cost money.

The visa fee for Hong Kong is 3,000 HKD.

Cooking school: 19,000 + B.

That's about 8,000 HKD for a 5-year visa.

Even with Soft Power, the application process in Hong Kong can still be slow. It took me about a month.

Hi! I just wanted to ask why is Vietnam such a popular location? What makes it number one compared to other countries? I’m from Hong Kong and was told that it’ll be a pain to process the DTV visa from Hong Kong and to stay in Vietnam for a day or two and get it sorted out at the embassy in Hanoi. Is there a specific reason for this? Do they not care how long the 500,000 THB has been held in your bank account for?

Another question I have is how long do you have to have the 500,000 thb in your account for? I’ve herd some say 6 months before you can apply and others say nothing so a bit confused about that

Hi everyone, quick question about the financial statements. I am a freelancer with a sole trader company based in HK. I want to submit the statements from my compnay bank account. I am the sole director of the company and I have documents to prove that I am the sole director (my name registered on the company documents), which I will submit also. However, the account is in the name of the company, not my personal name. Does anyone have experience with this? Did you submit your company bank account instead of a personal account? Thank you for sharing your experience.
