Hong Kong SAR visa for India passport holders

You don't need a visa on this route, but you do need a travel authorization. The programme, fees and how to apply are in the arrival forms and authorizations section. Arrival forms & authorizations ↓

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.

Eligible Indian visitors need an approved, free online Pre-arrival Registration (PAR) before boarding unless exempt. The automated result is normally immediate. PAR is valid for six months and allows multiple visits of up to 14 days with the linked passport and a printed, signed notification. The passport must be valid for six months. If PAR is unsuccessful, apply directly to Hong Kong Immigration for a visa.

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.
