Visa
  • In normal cases, holders of US and European passports will be granted a 90-day visa-free period in Hong Kong. However, visitors from Mainland China or Chinese residents of Taiwan may need to apply for a visa or entry permit.

  • If you are not sure whether you should apply for a short-term visit visa, please check the visa requirements for foreigners from the Hong Kong Immigration Department before your visit.
