What you can settle without going to the consulate
- work out which office covers you, which decides where your file can even be accepted
- apply for a Hong Kong entry visa through the e-Visa service of the Hong Kong Immigration Department
- check the validity, entries and duration on a visa you already hold before assuming you need a new one
Whatever you are applying for, the form is filled in online and only the passport travels, and somebody else can carry it for you.
