Hong Kong (SAR China) to Germany visa requirements

No visa needed. HKSAR ordinary passport holders can visit Germany visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period as a tourist. Germany is part of the Schengen Area, and holders of a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) ordinary passport enjoy visa-free entry to the Schengen zone for short stays. As confirmed by the German Consulate General in Hong Kong, the German Federal Foreign Office, and the HKSAR Immigration Department, you may visit Germany for tourism, family/friend visits, or business meetings for up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period without applying for a Schengen visa, provided you take up no employment. Standard Schengen entry conditions still apply: your passport should be valid for at least three months beyond your intended departure, issued within the previous 10 years, and you may be asked to show the purpose and conditions of stay, sufficient funds, accommodation, and onward or return travel. ETIAS is not yet operational as of 21 June 2026: the EU official portal says ETIAS will start operations in the last quarter of 2026 and no action is required from travellers at this point. Once ETIAS becomes mandatory, visa-exempt travellers including HKSAR passport holders will need online authorisation before travel. Final entry is always at the discretion of border authorities.
