Visa Requirements for Hong Kong Citizens

Few passports travel as freely as the Hong Kong SAR one. When a destination does need an online eVisa or eTA, our team handles the form, the checks and the submission, and sends the approval back to you.

About Hong Kong Passport

The Hong Kong SAR passport is one of the strongest in the world, ranking around 20th on the Henley Passport Index and opening roughly 170 destinations visa-free or with a visa on arrival - including the Schengen area, the United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea and most of Asia.

Only a small group of countries still ask Hong Kong travellers for an online eVisa or eTA - and those are the ones we handle for you. One thing to note: Hong Kong is not in the US Visa Waiver Program, so a US trip still needs an embassy visa. Keep your passport valid for at least six months from your arrival date.

Regional travel for Hong Kong

Read the travel policy details for Hong Kong

A Hong Kong SAR passport opens almost all of Asia and Europe with no visa - Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, the UAE and the whole Schengen area among them - usually for short stays of 30 to 90 days, on the passport alone.

A few things stand apart. The United States needs a full embassy visa, because Hong Kong is not in the Visa Waiver Program; the UK now needs an ETA; and South Korea K-ETA is currently waived for Hong Kong until the end of 2026. The UK ETA and Canada eTA are quick and online, and we can prepare them for you.
