Has anyone done a Hong Kong visa run before?

How long does Korean immigration in Hong Kong take to process?

Is there a history of ineptitude and unprofessionalism there?

It's now China (again, after a ninety-nine year lease to the drug dealers who wanted tea)... 5000 years may qualify as a history.

The Ks are newcomers to having a consulate in HK... so... 5000 years of graft and corruption, plus 5000 years of graft and corruption equals - I can't answer your question. Wink

I should have first asked. Can they process E2 visas in Hong Kong?

I know everyone usually goes to Japan.

They can process E2 visas in Hong Kong, however I am not sure how long they take.

Either EMAIL them at [email protected] or call them on (+852)2528-3666 and ask them how many days they require to process an E2 visa.

The consulates website is http://hkg.mofat.go.kr/eng/as/hkg/main/index.jsp

I made a visa run to Hong Kong about three years ago. I dropped it off on a Friday afternoon, and got it back on Tuesday morning. Think a day and a half processing. No problems what so ever, and a lot better place than Japan to hang out for a few days.

Currently they take 4 working days and their ineptitude is no different than any other K-consulate or embassy.
