Visas: Students going on exchange to Hong Kong must obtain a Hong Kong SAR visa before they leave Australia. Most Monash partner universities will arrange this for you; otherwise you can apply in person at the Chinese Consulate-General in Melbourne.
The University of Hong Kong website (below) has an excellent guide to Hong Kong visas. |
