Document background
An Alien Petition is a crucial document required by Hong Kong's immigration system for foreign nationals seeking to establish or maintain legal status within Hong Kong. This document is used when individuals need to request various types of visas or permits, including work visas, student visas, dependent visas, or other special categories of stay. The petition must be prepared in accordance with Hong Kong's Immigration Ordinance and related regulations, requiring detailed personal information, purpose of stay, financial capacity, and various supporting documents. The Alien Petition serves as the primary application document through which foreign nationals communicate their intentions and qualifications to Hong Kong immigration authorities. It forms the basis for the Immigration Department's assessment of whether to grant the requested immigration status.
