Hong Kong SAR visa for Congo - Brazzaville passport holders

Before you travel, check what the official route asks for. Which route is open to you depends on your passport and your situation.

Ordinary-passport tourists need a visa in advance; the online route issues an eVisa. Some nationalities also need a visa for airside transit; check the table remarks. Your stay is set by the permission granted. The standard processing time is four weeks after complete documents are received; the fee has not been verified.

Hong Kong no longer requires a general arrival or departure card. These cards were abolished on 16 October 2024.

Separate Pre-arrival Registration (PAR) still applies: Indian nationals visiting visa-free generally need it unless exempt, while eligible Taiwan residents have a separate PAR or entry-permit arrangement. Use the relevant Immigration Department service below.

Visa and customs requirements remain separate; the arrival-card exemption does not remove them.

Immigration requires onward/return tickets for visitors, except those in transit to Mainland China or Macao. Adequate funds are a separate condition.

Travel insurance is recommended. A general compulsory insurance requirement for ordinary tourists has not been confirmed. Check any conditions specific to your visa or travel circumstances.

These conditions are for a regular tourist visit. Where you live, your visa status and the route you take can change what applies to you.

• Carry adequate funds and return or onward-travel evidence, subject to the stated transit exceptions for Mainland China and Macau.
• Passport subtype and residence can change which visa, entry permit or pre-arrival-registration route applies.
• Stay limits vary by nationality and admission remains discretionary. Ordinary visa or permit processing is normally four weeks; additional checks can take longer.
