About the Hong Kong visa

Hong Kong offers a skyline harbour, Disneyland, the Big Buddha on Lantau Island and some of Asia's best food. Indian nationals can visit Hong Kong for up to 14 days without a visa, but must first complete the free online Pre-arrival Registration (PAR).

A successful PAR is usually valid for six months and can be used for several visits during that period, each of up to 14 days. You need a visa instead if you plan to work, study or stay longer.

Who can apply

  • You hold an Indian ordinary passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your date of arrival, with at least two blank pages.
  • Your visit is short-term, such as tourism, a family visit or business meetings. Work, study and residence in Hong Kong need a different visa.

Check that PAR fits

PAR is for visits of up to 14 days. For longer stays or work, you need a visa instead.

05

Show it on arrival

Processing time

  • Typical time: Usually quick after a complete application is submitted
  • Note: PAR results are often returned immediately. If not, allow a few days.
  • Plan ahead: Complete PAR at least a week before you travel, in case your registration is not successful and you need a visa.

Before you travel

  • Hong Kong and mainland China have separate immigration systems. PAR does not let you enter mainland China or Macau.

  • Keep a printed copy of your approval and a digital copy on your phone. Airlines often check it at check-in for flights to Hong Kong.
  • Travel insurance with medical cover is strongly recommended for every trip to Hong Kong.
