*** 

            Indian nationals planning to visit the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) for a stay not exceeding 14 days are required to apply for online Pre-Arrival Registration (PAR) at the following: 

https://www.immd.gov.hk/eng/services/visas/pre-arrival_registration_for_indian_nationals.html  

2.         A successful PAR is valid for a period of six months and multiple visits. 

3.         THE DETAILS IN THE PAR MUST EXACTLY MATCH THOSE IN THE PASSPORT. 

4.         The passenger must carry a print-out of the successful PAR on a white A4 size paper as well as meet the following requirements: 

·         The passport validity must be atleast six (6) months

·         Confirmed return or onward tickets 

·         Confirmed hotel booking 

·         Proof of bonafide purpose of visit 

·         Proof of sufficient financial provisions 

5.         Please note that holding a valid PAR is not a guarantee of the registrant’s successful entry to the HKSAR. Instances have come to our notice when not following the above requirements have resulted in Hong Kong Immigration refusing permission to land. This entails such persons returning back to port of embarkation from India by the same airline as well as certain hardships at the airport waiting for repatriation. The Consulate General of India, therefore, urges Indian nationals visiting Hong Kong to follow Government of HKSAR’s regulations in this regard, to minimize the possibility of any inconvenience to themselves.
