Hong Kong Visa – Requirements and Application
Do I Need a Visa for Hong Kong?
A passport is required to enter Hong Kong. A tourist visa is not needed for stays under 90 days. If you do plan to visit mainland China, a visa will be required.
Visitors must depart Hong Kong before the expiry of their limit of stay. If there is a special/urgent need to stay longer, visitors may make an extension of stay application within 7 days before their limit of stay expires. Applications will be considered on its own merits.
Proof of return or onward travel may be required for your visa. It may also be required when entering the country.
