Hong Kong SAR visa for Pakistan 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.
