有關上網申請香港特區護照

以下是入境處網頁有關申請特區護照所需時間的問題解答,

入境事務處承諾於收妥所需文件、費用及相片後的10個工作天內完成處理申請的程序（工作天是指星期一至星期五，公眾假期除外）。未滿11歲而並未持有香港永久性居民身份證的兒童，其申請的處理時間為14個工作天內。一般而言，你可於入境事務處完成處理申請後的下一個工作天領取新護照。若非親身遞交申請書（例如投遞），請預留額外二至三個工作天處理相關手續。如因遺失、損壞或更改個人資料而提出護照申請，處理申請的時間可能會較長。此服務承諾能否達到，須視乎個別申請情況，以及於該段時間內所收到的申請數目而定。 如果你計劃出外旅遊，請及早申請。

根據以上的解答, 非親身交申請書(包括網上申請)所需時間最長應為13個工作天, 我有肺友在上月在網上申請特區護照, 致電查詢時工作人員回答他需要13個工作天, 結果他在第14個工作天取得新護照. 因此你不必太擔, 過期才完成申請手續的可能甚低, 因關乎服務承諾. 以下是入境處網址

你可上網參閱有關資料, 亦可在公共服務的項目中找到各分區辦事處的資料, 然後致電去查詢.

You made several mistakes.

a. May 23 was the 13th business day after you have applied. You submitted on a Saturday, which your application was not considered as accepted until the next business day - Monday. Tuesday, the next day, was a public holiday. So the clock did not start until May 7.

b. Immigration Department has said already in its website that it will take 13 business days for online applications in typical situation. Typical situations do not include holiday season, which is now.

In answering your questions:

1. Yes. It can take up to 6 weeks (all days included).

2. 2824 6111

You should call Monday and see what is the status of your passport.
