According to the definition by the HKSAR Government adopted for education-related areas in the post-secondary education context, “non-local students” are:

Students holding:

- student visa / entry permit to study in Hong Kong,
- dependent visa who are aged 18 years old or above before September 1 of the year of admission; and
- visa under the Immigration Arrangements for Non-local Graduates (IANG), issued by the Director of Immigration of the Hong Kong Immigration Department.

However, if a person is holding a valid work visa during his or her study period, he or she is defined as a local student.
