Official sources: - [Hong Kong Immigration Department: Online pre-arrival registration for Indian nationals to visit Hong Kong](https://www.immd.gov.hk/eng/press/press-releases/20161212.html) - [Hong Kong Immigration Department: Pre-arrival registration for Indian nationals](https://www.immd.gov.hk/eng/services/visas/pre-arrival_registration_for_indian_nationals.html) - **Current official route — Timor-Leste ordinary passports: seven-day Hong Kong visitor waiver** (Visa-free) Hong Kong Immigration's current visitor table expressly assigns nationals of other foreign countries to a visa-free visitor stay of up to seven days. Timor-Leste is classified only through that affirmative residual, not through absence from the named rows. - The express current residual is limited to a visit not exceeding seven days for the foreign-country passport cohort. - The current Immigration Department separately identifies Timor-Leste in a visitor-facilitation country table; that scheme's invitation-only benefits do not define this ordinary-passport baseline. - For work, study, establishing or joining a business, residence, or a visitor stay longer than the allowed visa-free period, the current Immigration Department guidance requires the appropriate visa or entry permit before travel. - Normal immigration requirements, funds, onward or return travel, passport validity, individual admission and security controls remain separate. Official sources: - [Immigration Department, Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region: Visit Visa / Entry Permit Requirements for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region](https://www.immd.gov.hk/eng/services/visas/visit-transit/visit-visa-entry-permit.html) - [Immigration Department, Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region: Immigration Facilitation Scheme for Invited Persons](https://www.immd.gov.hk/eng/invitedpersons.html) - **Current official route — Hong Kong publishes visa-free periods for ordinary visitors** (Visa-free) The Immigration Department's August 2026 schedule lists visa-free visitor periods for the named nationalities and travel documents. - The permitted visitor period varies by passport and is shown in the official schedule. - Normal immigration requirements still apply, and permission to land is not automatic. - The Albania and Serbia entries apply to biometric passports; the schedule also contains document-specific exceptions for several nationalities. - Visitor status does not permit employment, study, residence, or joining a business. Official source: - [Hong Kong Immigration Department: Visit visa and entry permit requirements for Hong Kong](https://www.immd.gov.hk/eng/services/visas/visit-transit/visit-visa-entry-permit.html) - **Current official route — Hong Kong lists nationalities that require a visit visa** (Visa required) The Immigration Department's August 2026 schedule requires the listed ordinary-passport visitors to obtain a visa or entry permit before travel. - Some diplomatic and official passport holders have different exemptions; this policy represents ordinary-passport access. - Direct airside transit exceptions vary by nationality and do not establish permission to enter Hong Kong. - Applications remain subject to individual assessment and normal immigration requirements. Official source: - [Hong Kong Immigration Department: Visit visa and entry permit requirements for Hong Kong](https://www.immd.gov.hk/eng/services/visas/visit-transit/visit-visa-entry-permit.html) - **Current official route — PRC passport holders require an entry permit for Hong Kong visits** (Visa required) Holders of People's Republic of China passports must obtain an entry permit for social and business visits to Hong Kong. - This policy concerns social and business visits made using a People's Republic of China passport. - A separate transit concession permits a qualifying stay of up to seven days with confirmed onward travel. - Mainland residents commonly use an Exit-entry Permit and appropriate endorsement under separate arrangements.
