Visa & Entry

Canadian citizens enter Hong Kong visa-free for up to 90 days. No advance authorization is needed. Passport must be valid for at least 1 month beyond the intended departure from Hong Kong. Hong Kong operates a separate immigration system from mainland China, so a Chinese visa is not required for Hong Kong alone but is needed if continuing to the mainland.

Verify entry requirements with official sources before travel.
Getting from HKG

Airport Express runs to Hong Kong Station (Central) in 24 minutes for HK$115, departing every 10 minutes from 5:54am to 1:02am. Octopus card discounts apply.

Hong Kong Climate

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.

Check current weather forecasts before travel.
