Up to 90 days per visit. You must not overstay the date shown on your electronic landing slip.

No. Hong Kong has no pre-arrival registration or ETA scheme for Malaysian nationals. You simply present your passport at immigration.

Q: Can I work or study in Hong Kong on visa-free entry?

No. Visa-free entry is for tourism, social visits, and short business activities only. Employment or study requires an appropriate visa or entry permit applied for in advance.

Q: Do I need a return ticket and proof of funds?

Q: Will I get a passport stamp on arrival?

No. Hong Kong issues an electronic landing slip instead of a passport stamp. Keep it and note your permitted stay date.

Malaysian ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa to visit Hong Kong for tourism or short stays. They may enter visa-free and stay for up to 90 days. Holders of an ordinary Malaysian passport enjoy visa-free entry to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for tourism and social visits, with a maximum stay of 90 days per visit. There is no visa fee, no eVisa, and no pre-arrival registration or ETA requirement. Travelers simply present a passport valid for the duration of stay, along with proof of onward or return travel and adequate funds. Visa-free status covers tourism and general visits only; employment, study, business establishment, or residence require an appropriate visa or entry permit applied for in advance. This arrangement is confirmed by the Hong Kong Immigration Department's official visa requirements table, which lists Malaysia at 90 days visa-free.
