Entry Requirements

All nationals are required to hold a valid visa for the HKSAR for whatever purpose.

No visa or entry permit is required for any purpose if you hold any of the following travel documents:

  • Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Passport,
  • British National (Overseas) Passport,
  • Hong Kong Certificate of Identity,
  • Hong Kong Re-entry permit (for entry from the Mainland of China and the region of Macao only),
  • Hong Kong Seaman's Identity Book,
  • Hong Kong Document of Identity for Visa Purposes provided that the document is valid or the holder's limit of stay in Hong Kong has not expired.
  • Travel documents bearing one of the following endorsements: "Holder's eligibility for Hong Kong permanent identity card verified."
    "The holder of this travel document has the right to land in Hong Kong. (Section 2AAA, Immigration Ordinance, Cap. 115, Laws of Hong Kong)"
  • Hong Kong Permanent Identity Card.

Unless you hold any of the above documents, you require a visa in the HKSAR.

You may apply for the appropriate visa or entry permit from the nearest Chinese diplomatic and consular mission.

As an alternative, you may also submit your visa or entry permit application to the HKSAR Immigration Department directly by post. To shorten processing time, application forms and supporting documents can be sent by fax to (852) 2824 1133 in the first instance. However, the original copy of the duly completed application form and the photographs required should be sent immediately to the HKSAR Immigration Department by air mail. A visa/entry permit will be issued only on receipt of an original, properly completed visa/entry permit application form.

If you are a Chinese resident in the region of Taiwan, you should submit your application for an entry permit through one of the authorised airlines.
