Once the HKCAAVQ has confirmed that the payment has been settled and all the relevant documents are provided, a receipt and an acknowledgement are issued to the applicant to inform him/her the assessment can commence and the assessment will normally take 15 working days starting from the next working day of the acknowledgement. However, if further information or research is required during the assessment process, the applicant is required to provide further information if necessary and the assessment process may take longer.
