🇬🇧United Kingdom🇭🇰Hong Kong (SAR China)GB-HK United Kingdom to Hong Kong (SAR China) visa requirements
No visa needed. Full British citizen passport holders can visit Hong Kong visa-free for up to 180 days, with no ETA, eVisa, pre-arrival registration, or arrival card. British citizens travelling on a full British citizen passport may visit Hong Kong visa-free for up to 180 days per entry. This covers tourism, family/social visits, transit, and permissible short business activities such as meetings, seminars, tenders, trade fairs, and contract discussions, provided no employment is taken up. No visa, ETA, eVisa, pre-arrival registration, or arrival/departure card is required. Hong Kong normally issues a paper landing slip instead of stamping passports; the slip shows the visitor conditions and limit of stay and should be kept during the visit. The passport must be valid for at least one month after the planned date of leaving Hong Kong, and visitors should have adequate funds plus onward or return travel unless transiting to Chinese Mainland or Macao. BN(O) passports are no longer accepted by Hong Kong for immigration clearance, so this 180-day route is for full British citizen passports only; other British nationality passport types may have different allowances.
