⚠️ The 7 Fatal Visa Pitfalls
One error can lead to denied boarding. Use this guide to audit your application.
Name Mismatch
Surname is “Family Name,” Given Name is “First/Middle Name.” Do not swap them.
MRZ Accuracy
Details must match the bottom two lines (<<<<) of your passport exactly. No exceptions.
Photo Specs
Recent, white background, no glasses, ears visible. Scanned old photos will be detected.
The VOA Myth
It is NOT “pay at the airport.” You must have an Approval Letter BEFORE boarding.
Entry Port Lock
You must enter via the specific airport listed on your visa. Updating takes time.
Amendment Loop
Missing an “Amendment Required” email resets your processing time. Monitor your inbox.
Final Check: Ensure your passport has 6 months validity and 2 blank pages. BNO holders must apply via the Consulate or use HKSAR passport.
