IIQE Examination Fees: The Official Table for All Three Modes

Last updated 2026-08-09

Fees are one of the few things about the IIQE you can pin down exactly, yet the numbers circulating online mix current and superseded figures. This page lists only what the official handbook says.

The official fee table

For the same Paper I: HK$195 on paper, HK$265 on computer, HK$850 remotely. Why the remote mode costs more, and who is eligible for it, is covered in the remotely invigilated mode explainer.

Common combinations

Adding up the official unit prices:

(These rows are arithmetic on the official unit prices above — they are not an official package price. For which papers apply to you, see the business-category table.)

The computer-based mode costs HK$70 more per paper, and returns your result on screen immediately; the paper-and-pencil mode takes five full working days. Across three papers the difference is HK$210 — which buys you knowing the outcome the same day, and being able to decide about a resit straight away. For most candidates that is worth it.

How to pay

Visa, Mastercard or UnionPay credit card, only through the online enrolment system (clause 4.2).

Refund rules

• Online enrolment must be completed within 20 minutes, or the selected session is not held and you

must start again

• If your enrolment is not accepted, the fee is refunded
• Once your enrolment is accepted, the fee is neither refundable nor transferable to another person

or another examination

• Your personal particulars must match your Hong Kong identity card or passport exactly — a

discrepancy means you are not admitted, the fee is not refunded, and the entry cannot be transferred

Those last two together are a real trap: an error in your identity details costs you both the fee and the seat. During those 20 minutes, the document-number field is worth checking twice.

One more: on the day you must bring the original of the same identity document you enrolled with. Enrolling with a passport and turning up with an identity card means you are not admitted.

Sources and currency

Fees for the paper-and-pencil and computer-based modes are taken from clause 5.1 of the Insurance Intermediaries Qualifying Examination (Paper-and-Pencil and Computer-based Modes) Handbook; payment methods and enrolment rules from clauses 4.2–4.5; applicable from 1 September 2025. The remotely invigilated fee comes from item 5 of the Remotely Invigilated Mode of Examination FAQ. All retrieved 2026-08-09.

⚠️ Clause 5.5 states explicitly that fees are subject to adjustment when necessary. The table above has a shelf life; check the current official version before enrolling. Mange is not an official body. Nothing here is enrolment advice; the official announcements of the Insurance Authority and the PEAK Examination Centre govern.
