Students need to apply for student visa to Hong Kong. The visa type must be student visa for full-time education in Hong Kong. Students who have been approved to take the double degree pathway will also need to apply for France's student visa.
In principle, it is mandatory that students who are non-French citizens apply for student visa to study in France. Please go to this webpage to check if you need a student visa for studying under the double degree pathway. Grenoble Ecole de Management has published a guide for international students which all non-French international students should read the chapter on visa.
Unless you meet the conditions specified below*, it is mandatory for non-local students to obtain a student visa (or entry permit for students from Mainland China, Macao and Taiwan) for pursuing the study of the MScEGM programme. Graduate School of Hong Kong Baptist University will be the responsible unit for the student visa application to be submitted to the Hong Kong Immigration Department. Non-local students cannot enter Hong Kong for educational purposes in the absence of the required student visa, whether full-degree programmes or otherwise. In other words, although HKSAR government allows some nationals entering Hong Kong without having any ENTRY visa, non-local students are still required to apply for a STUDENT visa for undertaking educational activities.
