## Evidence timeline

- **August 26, 2026 — Nicaragua and Solomon Islands: Hong Kong visitor waiver** (Visa-free)
  Ordinary Nicaraguan and Solomon Islands passport holders may visit Hong Kong visa-free for up to 30 days from 26 August 2026. The current destination visitor schedule and the announcement's explicit inbound provision agree on the scope and permitted stay.
  - Allowed stay: **Up to 30 days**
    - The announcement expressly describes permitted visitor stay; this is not passport validity, visa validity or processing time.
  - This is the ordinary nationality-based visitor route, not a diplomatic-passport, resident-document or direct-airside-transit exception.
  - The visa-free visit must not exceed 30 days. A person intending to stay longer than the permitted visa-free period must obtain the appropriate visa or entry permit before travelling.
  - Visitors must have adequate funds for their stay without working and onward or return tickets, except when in transit to Chinese Mainland or the Macao Special Administrative Region.
  - Visitor status does not permit paid or unpaid employment, establishing or joining a business, or entering a school as a student. Work, study, business establishment and residence require the appropriate permission unless a separate Part I entitlement applies.
  - Meeting the stated conditions does not guarantee admission; the immigration authority retains its power to refuse permission to land.
