Visa Requirements

Visa requirements vary depending on your passport, Hong Kong has a separate immigration policy from Mainland China. Under the existing visa-free visit regime, nationals of about 170 countries and territories may visit Hong Kong without a visa/entry permit for a period ranging from 7 days to 180 days. For more information on visa/entry permit requirements for visitors to the HKSAR, you may refer to the “Visit Visa / Entry Permit Requirements for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region” webpage. In general, all visitors to Hong Kong must have a passport that is valid for at least one month after the period of their intended stay.

If you do require a visa to visit Hong Kong, these can be obtained from your nearest Chinese embassy.
