What is a Hong Kong Visa & Why You Need One?

A Hong Kong Entry visa is a formal document that allows foreign citizens to explore Hong Kong as a tourist, business, work, studies or family visits. Traveling either on leisure or work, the first thing that you need to do before boarding your flight is to get your visa in the UAE.

The residents in UAE would have to apply a minimum of 15 days prior to traveling. The visa process can take up to 25 working days to two months and upon approval you are notified through email.

Who Can Apply

All non-eligible persons can only apply for a visa before travelling to Hong Kong. Whether the visit is for tourism, business, study or employment, a valid visa or entry permit needs to be acquired from the Hong Kong Immigration Department.

• Foreign nationals that need to have a visa before entering
• Passengers coming from the United Arab Emirates and other expatriates staying in countries without visa-free agreements with Hong Kong
• People planning to stay in the country for more than the visa-free period (typically longer than 14, 30 or 90 days depending on nationality)
• Visitors to Hong Kong on the basis of employment, investment, training, study or family reunion
• Transit passengers who plan on leaving the airport transit area during their layover

Documents Required

• Original passport (valid for at least 6 months)
• Valid UAE residence visa (minimum 30 days validity)
• Passport-size photo with white background
• NOC letter from employer (with designation, salary, joining date, and travel purpose)
• Bank statements for the last 3 months
• Invitation letter (if visiting friends or relatives in Hong Kong)
• Trade license and business introduction letter (for business visa)

Note: Processing time may take up to 30-45 days, and visa/service fees are non-refundable in case of rejection.
