Taiwan residents born in Taiwan can enter Hong Kong using the free Pre-Arrival Registration (PAR) system. Register online through the Hong Kong Immigration Department portal before departure. Each PAR is valid for 2 months and covers 2 entries, with stays up to 30 days per visit. Print the confirmation slip on A4 paper and present it at immigration.

Taiwan residents born outside Taiwan who have previously been admitted to Hong Kong as a Taiwan resident are also eligible for PAR. Those who do not qualify for PAR need an entry permit from Hong Kong Immigration.

Buses are slower but serve districts not near the MTR.
Subtropical monsoon climate. Typhoon season (June–October) is the primary disruption risk. The airport operates a T1/T3/T8 signal system and closes for Category T8 or above. Typhoons can arrive with 24–48 hours warning and typically pass in 12–24 hours. Check signals before departure during this window.
Winters are mild and mostly dry (12–20°C), ideal for flying. Spring brings fog and low cloud (March–April) that reduces runway visibility. Summer heat and humidity (30–34°C) are moderated at the airport by its coastal location on Lantau Island.
TPE–HKG Quick Facts
Frequently Asked Questions
Taipei to Hong Kong Air Corridor
TPE–HKG is one of East Asia's busiest short-haul international routes, connecting Taiwan's Taoyuan International Airport with Hong Kong International across 800 km of the South China Sea. Seven airlines serve roughly 268 weekly frequencies, including Cathay Pacific, China Airlines, EVA Air, and Hong Kong Express. The 1-hour-40-minute flight carries substantial business, leisure, and connecting traffic between the two financial and commercial centers.
Hub Connectivity and Typhoon Exposure
Hong Kong International is a major connecting hub for passengers routing from Taiwan to Southeast Asia, Europe, and beyond. Cathay Pacific's HKG hub gives TPE arrivals access to a comprehensive onward network. Typhoon season (July–September) creates the primary operational disruption risk on this route, with both airports potentially closed simultaneously during major storm passages. Taiwan and Hong Kong's distinct political and economic profiles drive year-round business travel demand that moderates the seasonal leisure pattern seen on other regional short-haul routes.
