中華人民共和国香港特別行政区：出発前に知っておきたいこと

重要ポイント

  • Hong Kong has its own immigration rules separate from mainland China: a China visa-free stay does not cover Hong Kong and vice versa.
  • Indian nationals must complete online Pre-arrival Registration (PAR) before a visa-free visit.
  • The National Security Law applies to everyone, including visitors; avoid political protests and slogans.
  • Get an Octopus card (or Octopus in Apple Wallet) for transport, convenience stores and many shops.
  • Typhoon signal 8 or higher shuts most transport and businesses; check the Hong Kong Observatory in June–October.

入国とビザ

Most Western passports enter visa-free (US and EU 90 days, British citizens 180 days). Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and India get 14 days (India with PAR), Belarus and UAE 30 days, Turkey 90 days. Uzbek ordinary passport holders need a visa. Mainland Chinese residents need an Exit-Entry Permit with a valid endorsement. Proof of funds and an onward/return ticket may be requested.

オンライン入国フォームと許可

パスポートの残存期間: Generally at least 1 month beyond the intended stay; Indian passports used for PAR must have at least 6 months validity.

  • No arrival card for most visitors; you receive a landing slip - keep it with your passport.
  • e-Channel self-service gates are available to some registered frequent visitors.
  • Buy an Octopus card at the Airport Express counter or load it in Apple Wallet.

税関

  • Duty-free: 1 litre of spirits (over 30% ABV) and 19 cigarettes per adult; excess must be declared.
