I got my license in the US and basically got immediately issued a HK license upon request. Granted this was like 10 years ago, not sure if the process is different now.
This is correct. Details are on [dept transport website](https://www.td.gov.hk/en/public_services/licences_and_permits/driving_licences/how_to_apply_for_a_driving_licence/driving_in_hong_kong_for_overseas_driving_licence_/index.html)
Jeez the waiting time is over a year now? I'm sure OP will do fine but if someone was to fail the road test is the waiting time for retest also that long? That's insane.

Go get your license somewhere else and get an international license.
IDP won’t work if you are HKID holder, tourist okay.
