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
You can send another person with the documents, which for distances like these is usually the point.
