Visas & Passports
Passports
A passport is essential for visiting Hong Kong, and it needs to be valid for at
least one month after the period of your stay in Hong Kong. Carry your passport at all times
as this is the only form of identification acceptable to the Hong Kong police.
Visa-free visitors
The vast majority of travellers, including citizens of Australia, Canada,
the EU, Israel, Japan, New Zealand and the USA, are allowed to enter the Hong Kong Spe-
cial Administrative Region (SAR) without a visa and stay for 90 days. Holders of British
passports can stay up to 180 days without a visa, but British Dependent Territories and Brit-
ish Overseas citizens not holding a visa are only allowed to remain 90 days. Holders of
many African (including South African), South American and Middle Eastern passports do
not require visas for visits of 30 days or less. You can check visa requirements at
Longer stays
