Hong Kong (PR) visiting United Arab Emirates — pick your passport

Permanent residency in Hong Kong (SAR China) lets you re-enter Hong Kong (SAR China), but it does not by itself grant visa-free entry to other countries. The visa rules for your trip to United Arab Emirates are determined by the passport you hold — not your PR status. Pick your country of citizenship below to see accurate requirements.

Notes for permanent residents

You travel on the passport of your country of citizenship — your Hong Kong (PR) card is not a travel document for entry to United Arab Emirates.
Carry your PR card on the return trip — it's required to re-enter Hong Kong (SAR China).
Some destinations recognize PR status in narrow cases (e.g., transit, visa-on-arrival eligibility). Check the destination's official source for confirmation.
