The Hong Kong Document of Identity for Visa Purposes (full name: Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Document of Identity for Visa Purposes, or DI) is a travel document issued by the Hong Kong Immigration Department.
A Hong Kong Document of Identity for Visa Purposes may be issued to eligible Hong Kong residents, including those who are not eligible to apply for a Hong Kong SAR passport and are unable to obtain a passport or other travel document from any country or territory, for use as a travel document. Generally, a Hong Kong Document of Identity for Visa Purposes is valid for seven years.
For more information, please visit the website of the Hong Kong Immigration Department.
A Hong Kong Identity Card can verify your identity and your residence/right of abode status in Hong Kong (where applicable), but it does not prove your nationality (country/region).
If you hold a Hong Kong non-permanent identity card and select “Hong Kong, China” as your nationality (country/region) in your account opening application, the Bank requires you to provide a valid Hong Kong Document of Identity for Visa Purposes for verification, to ensure that the nationality (country/region) information you have selected is true and accurate.
If, when opening an account, you:
● apply using a Hong Kong non-permanent identity card; and
● select “Hong Kong, China” as your nationality (country/region),
you must provide a valid Hong Kong Document of Identity for Visa Purposes for verification.
Please ensure that the Hong Kong Document of Identity for Visa Purposes you submit:
● belongs to you and is still valid;
● is clear and complete;
● clearly shows your personal information, including your name, document number, photograph and expiry date; and
● is consistent with the information provided in your application.
If the document is unclear, incomplete, expired or cannot be verified, we may ask you to resubmit it.
A Hong Kong Document of Identity for Visa Purposes are issued by the Hong Kong Immigration Department. If you do not hold this document, please select the appropriate nationality (country/region) in your account opening application according to your circumstances, and continue the submission of the application.
