Hong Kong

Who needs a visa for Hong Kong?

Of 198 nationalities, 147 enter Hong Kong with no paperwork at all. The rest: 50 must be approved before they travel and 1 cannot travel there.

We have not found a Hong Kong government portal we can link to with confidence, so we link to none โ€” a lookalike is worse than nothing. Apply through Hong Kong's own immigration service or its embassy.

What do you need?

Who needs what

Visa free 147

Nothing to apply for and nothing to pay before you travel.

eVisa (electronic visa) 49

A real visa application, made online instead of at an embassy. It is assessed, it takes days rather than minutes, and it can be refused.

Visa required 1

You must apply and be approved before you travel. Airlines will refuse to board you without it.

No admission 1

A government policy, not a paperwork problem. No agent or service can work around it.
