How to Check Hong Kong Visa Application Status Online — ImmD Portal Guide

The Hong Kong Immigration Department (ImmD) has introduced a fully digital tracking system for all types of visa and entry permit applications, including visit, business, study, employment, and transit visas. This online system allows applicants from Nepal to easily check the progress of their visa without visiting the Immigration Office or contacting local sponsors. The process is quick, transparent, and accessible 24 hours a day through the ImmD’s official website or mobile application.

To check your Hong Kong visa application status online, visit the official website of the Immigration Department at www.immd.gov.hk and go to the “Application Status Enquiry” section under “Online Services.” Once you open the page, select “Visa/Entry Permit Application” from the list of services. You will need to enter your application reference number, passport number, and date of birth exactly as stated in your application form. The system will then display one of several possible updates — such as “Received,” “Under Processing,” “Approved,” “Rejected,” or “Additional Documents Required.”

Applicants who applied online will also receive an acknowledgement email containing the same reference number that must be entered in the ImmD portal. If you submitted your application through a sponsor or a travel agency, your sponsor can also use this number to track the current status. In case of technical issues, the ImmD also provides an e-Services Hotline (+852 3128 8668) where applicants can get status-related assistance during office hours.

If the status shows “Approved,” it means your application has been successfully processed and you can now proceed to pay the visa issuance fee online. Once payment is completed, your digital e-Visa will be emailed to you in PDF format, which can be printed and presented upon arrival in Hong Kong. On the other hand, if your status shows “Additional Documents Required,” you must log in to the “Online Supplementary Document Submission” page to upload the missing files. It is important to check your status regularly, as the Immigration Department may send updates or new instructions by email.

The ImmD Mobile App also provides a convenient way to track your visa status. Available on both Android and iOS platforms, the app includes quick access to the same “Application Status Enquiry” feature. You can log in using your reference number and date of birth, and the system will display the same information as the web portal.
