Learn More: Pre-Arrival Registration

HONG KONG IS CLOSED: Hong Kong has not yet fully re-opened for tourism.

From January 2017, Indian citizens can enter Hong Kong by completing a pre-arrival registration online. This document allows them to enter the country during a transit or for a planned visit to Hong Kong. The permitted stay you have for each entry is 14 days for six months (or until the date your Indian passport expires.) Consider that if you travel by air and do not leave the airport transit area, you will not be required to complete this document.

PLEASE NOTE: Currently, the pre-arrival registration must be presented to the Immigration Officer along with the Health Declaration in order to enter Hong Kong. At iVisa.com, we can offer you both documents without the need to process them at the airport. We will take care of the whole process!

Required Documents to Apply

  • Indian passport with at least 6 months of validity

  • Credit/debit card or PayPal account

Important Instructions

  • Travelers who wish to visit Hong Kong must have an Indian passport valid for at least 6 months beyond their planned date of entry.

  • We suggest that passengers verify their information, print out the documentation, and bring a physical copy of it on their trip. The check-in staff at the airports can also verify the registration on their system, however, we highly recommend that clients keep a physical or electronic copy.

  • Due to the current situation in the world, Hong Kong is now requiring a Health Declaration which is aimed at all nationalities planning to enter Hong Kong. This means that you will not only need a pre-arrival registration, but also, the health declaration.

You should carry with you the landing slip and your Indian passport during your stay in Hong Kong. In general, you will only need to present your Indian passport for immigration clearance upon departure.

NOTE: In order to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, Hong Kong is now requesting additional health documents, which you should obtain before traveling:

  • QR Code of the Health Declaration Form (offered at iVisa.com)
Yes. You are still required to present an "Arrival / Departure Card" for immigration clearance upon arrival / departure.
You may reprint the notification slip in your email account. Alternatively, you may retrieve and reprint the notification slip by using your ivisa account.
The notification slip must be printed on a sheet of blank letter-sized white paper. Double-sided or reduced printing will not be accepted.
Data inconsistency between the notification slip and your Indian passport will render the registration invalid and lead to refusal of your boarding a conveyance bound for Hong Kong and entry to Hong Kong. You should re-apply for PAR by inputting information which is exactly the same as it appears in your Indian passport.
Yes. You and your family members are each required to apply for a PAR individually.

Our service does NOT provide an actual visa for this nationality. We will provide you a pre-arrival registration document. Upon arrival, you will need to present this letter and your Passport at the immigration area so you will be allowed to enter Hong Kong.

The counters assigned for pre-arrival registration, are designated to the immigration officers. Once you arrive at the airport, you must go to one of these modules and present your document. We are informed that officials can review your registration in your system, however, we recommend you to always have a physical or electronic copy of the document.

Before arriving at this section, you must approach the border control point staff upon entering Hong Kong and show the QR code of your Health Declaration, along with other additional documents that will depend on your nationality.

As you may already know, Hong Kong is part of China but it is an autonomous region within its own rights. But besides that, Hong Kong is a magnificent travel destination that many people choose. It is true that most people think that Hong Kong is mostly visited by business people, but apart from that, the beautiful region has a lot more to offer than skyscrapers. You must have heard about the ‘New York of Asia’, but you would be surprised to know that Hong Kong is much more than that. It is a place that can help you create a bunch of wonderful memories. The people in Hong Kong are very friendly, and you will rarely see someone staring at you. They embrace tourists, and they are very polite. People who say that Canadians are the most polite people have never traveled to Hong Kong. They are so focused on not offending anyone that it is ridiculous. At the same time, of course, you must be careful not to offend anyone as well. One good example is how you leave your chopsticks in your bowl of rice. You cannot leave them upright since it is associated with funerals. It is not offensive in the real sense of the word, but it is upsetting. One thing that you would be surprised to know is that Hong Kong is not just an urban area. In fact, more than half of its surface area is countryside. Yes, you have the famous skyline, and the media almost always portrays the urban area only, but you have a lot of nature around the metropolis. You have beaches, forests, and whatever else you can think of. You can explore for days and still cannot cover everything. Plus, there are a lot of islands, and getting on one is fairly easy. As for getting around town, Hong Kong has about 5 ways to do that. Most importantly, Hong Kong’s public transportation system is one of the most efficient in the entire world. Not to mention that it is crazy cheap to catch a ride almost anywhere. You do not have to worry about getting ripped by some taxi drivers. As mentioned before, the people there are very friendly and fair. You will not be scammed into anything. Another thing that I think you will like while on vacation is that you can walk on the street or go to the beach with an alcoholic beverage open. In Hong Kong, you are allowed to drink in public places. The legal age for drinking is 18, but most countries do not let people walk around with an open bottle of alcohol. Not in Hong Kong. There, you can enjoy this, even if you do not plan on drinking on the sidewalk. At least you can enjoy a cold beer at the beach, something that is not possible in most civilized countries around the world. The food is yet another thing that is more of an experience than anything else. The Chinese food you ate in western countries is a poorly made joke in comparison with the food you will find in Hong Kong. It is so colorful, smells so good, and the spices are to die for. Plus, the people of Hong Kong like to share, so when you go to a restaurant, you do not have to order a portion for each person. Instead, you can order one plate of everything you want to eat and let the food go around the table. The advantage of doing so is that you can get to taste multiple dishes at the same sitting. Neat, right? As for communication, you should have no issues in getting around. If you didn't know, Hong Kong was a British colony until 1997 when it was ‘handed’ to China. As a result, a lot of people there are fluent in English. Learning a phrase or two, like greeting formulas, may work in your favor. That is because people there will get very excited if you speak their language. Even if it is something as small as a ‘good morning.’ Something that you will find surprising is that shops are open until very late. I am not referring to hypermarkets or big stores. I am talking about small corner shops. If in the western civilization these stores are open until 6 or 7 PM, in Hong Kong, they are open until 10 PM or even more. If you want to buy something from a convenience store at 11 PM, chances are that you are going to find one open. Ask the locals. They will know best. The airport in Hong Kong is one of the largest in the world. You can catch a flight to almost anywhere from there, which is a big plus if you plan on visiting more than one country in a single trip. One rule that you need to remember here is regarding escalators. Always remember to walk on the left and stand on the right. Aside from the things mentioned above, remember to take in the streets of Hong Kong. You will probably see people taking photos everywhere, locals or otherwise. That is because Hong Kong’s streets are very charming. The small shops with all kinds of decorations, the markets, or even the colorful decorations on some of the buildings add to that charm. Make sure to take a lot of pictures because you will want to remember the scenery. Other than that, remember to live the Hong Kong experience with everything it entails, and remember that the locals take great pride in their history. Make sure to learn some of that as well.
