The current designated application period for balloted new applicants is three calendar days, while that for renewal applicants is six calendar days.

The department said the enhancement will allow sufficient time for applicants to prepare the necessary application documents.

The eligibility, procedures and balloting of applications under the scheme will remain unchanged.
