How can you extend your Hong Kong work visa if your passport has only a very limited amount of time remaining on it before it expires?

QUESTION

Hello,

My passport is currently being renewed but my Hong Kong work visa runs out very soon.

However I cannot start the visa extension application process without a new passport.

I am worried my visa will expire before the application is complete.

Does immigration allow special extensions for such circumstances?
