A trip to Hong Kong promises stunning skyscrapers, beautiful beaches, delicious food, and a rich culture. Whether you’re exploring the bustling streets, relaxing at temples, or visiting Disneyland, here’s what you need to know about getting a visa for Hong Kong if you’re from India.
Do Indians Need a Visa for Hong Kong?
Indian passport holders can visit Hong Kong without a visa for up to 14 days. However, before traveling, you must fill out an online pre-arrival registration form. This registration is free, valid for six months, or until your Indian passport expires, whichever comes first.
If your stay is longer than 14 days, you’ll need to apply for a visa from the Hong Kong Immigration Department.
