Travel Essentials
DEL: IST · HKG: HKT
When it's 6:00 PM in New Delhi, it's 8.5:00 PM in Hong Kong.
Indian passport holders can enter Hong Kong visa-free for up to 14 days. No fee, no advance application. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the intended stay with at least one blank page. Immigration may ask for proof of onward or return travel, accommodation details, and sufficient funds (no fixed minimum but roughly HKD 500 per day). This is Hong Kong SAR only. A separate visa is required for mainland China.
Extensions beyond 14 days can be applied for at the Hong Kong Immigration Department (ImmD) in Wan Chai before the initial period expires, but extensions are not guaranteed and require a compelling reason. For business visits, the visa-free 14 days covers meetings and conferences. Actual employment requires a work visa sponsored by the Hong Kong employer, processed through ImmD.
