What maximum stay, rolling-period rule, validity and entry rules apply?

The Invited Persons Scheme is an invitation-based facilitation scheme for invited persons from 11 ASEAN member states. For participants who need a visa, it provides a multiple-journey visit visa allowing a two-month stay per visit, and the invited-person status is valid for three years. Nationals of Brunei Darussalam, Malaysia and Singapore who already receive 90 days visa-free on each visit retain that period. Relevant HKSAR bureaux/departments notify the people they plan to invite; this is not an open self-enrolment invitation route. The scheme page describes stay per visit and does not state a separate cumulative or rolling-period cap. The actual permitted stay remains subject to the visit permission and usual entry arrangements; invited-person status validity is not itself permission to stay continuously for three years.

Where/how is permission obtained when required, and under what important circumstances can a stay be extended or changed?

Applicants complete the application by filling in the online application form, and the Immigration Department (ImmD) informs them of the result by email within two weeks of receiving all the required documents and information. The official source does not state when a stay can be extended or changed.
