Employment visa question...

Hello everybody!

It is really great to be here on indiamike
Does anybody know how long it takes for the Indian Consulate in Hong Kong to issue an employment visa for India?

Thanks a lot!

It will help if you tell us your nationality and whether or not you are resdident in Hong Kong.....

First of all, thank you for your reply. Me and my husband are Romanians, currently in China and we do not have HK ID card.
We have just logged in as you can see , but we have been reading the posts on the forum for a while. It is indeed a great website!

OK......

You never know, there's a chance that someone will be along with the same experience who can answer properly.

In general it is always quicker to get your visa in your country of origin, or at least of normal residence. Anywhere else and it may well take much longer.

Sorry not to have been of specific help.

For standard tourist visas, applications from non-residents take 4-5 business days minimum. I would allow an extra week for employment visas.

Here are the fees:

6 month multiple entry (Business/Tourist/Other) HKD315.00
1 year multiple entry (Business/ Other) HKD510
5 year multiple entry (Business/ Other) HKD1015

Visa Application Fee Other Nationals HKD100 (additional to the above)

Also note, for an employment visa, applicants must provide a proper appointment letter from the employer with copies of documents relating to the Company's incorporation in India.
