Do I need a work permit to do a Co-op placement?

Non-local students must have a No Objection Letter (NOL) issued by the Hong Kong Immigration Department and an endorsement letter from CUHK in order to take up any study / curriculum-related internship. You should have received the letter when you were first admitted to CUHK. The NOL will remain valid on conditions that,

  • You remain as a student of the major programme as stated in the NOL
  • Your limit of stay in Hong Kong (student visa) remains unexpired
