Online Application for Extension of Stay (for Persons Admitted under Special Scheme to Import Care Workers for Residential Care Homes to Complete Remaining Period of Current Contract)
Who Can Use This Service
If you are a person admitted as an imported care worker for employment in Hong Kong and have been granted with a limit of stay shorter than the duration of the employment contract upon arrival having regard to the validity of your passport / travel document, etc., you can submit an application for extension of stay via this online service for completing the remaining period of your current contract after renewal of your passport / travel document, provided that the employer confirms to continue your employment.
