Fee

Having received your application, Immigration Department will check the application form and all the supporting documents. You will be contacted to pay for the prescribed fee afterwards or provide supplementary documents (if necessary).

A fee of HK$575 is payable on submission of application. However, the collection of fee does not constitute any guarantee or assurance that the application for renunciation of nationality will be approved.

If the applicant pays by cheque or bank draft, it should be crossed and made payable to “The Government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region”. If the applicant selects to make the payment by post of cheque or bank draft, the cheque or bank draft should be drawn on a bank in the HKSAR in HK or US Dollars (HK$575 or US$74). If the cheque or bank draft is not drawn on a bank in the HKSAR or not in HKSAR currency, the applicant should also include a bank handling charge of HK$100 (or US$13) in the same cheque or bank draft. No cash should be sent.

Alternatively, the applicant may nominate a local referee to pay the fee on his/her behalf after receiving notification from the Immigration Department.

The fee paid is non-refundable in all circumstances.
