Do Hong Kong passport holders need a visa to visit BF?

Yes. HKSAR ordinary passport holders can enter Burkina Faso visa-free for up to 14 days for tourism or a short visit. A valid yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. For stays longer than 14 days, apply for the official Burkina Faso eVisa before travel. Holders of a Hong Kong SAR ordinary passport enjoy visa-free entry to Burkina Faso for short stays of up to 14 days, as confirmed on the Hong Kong Immigration Department's visa-free access list and the Wikipedia visa-policy summary of Burkinabe regulations. No visa fee applies for visits within this window. Burkina Faso is in West Africa and is NOT part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Travelers must carry a valid International Certificate of Vaccination (yellow fever is compulsory for all visitors over nine months/one year of age), a passport valid at least six months beyond entry with two blank pages, and ideally proof of onward travel and accommodation. If you intend to stay beyond 14 days, or want extra documentary certainty given Burkina Faso's elevated security situation, the country operates an official eVisa via visaburkina.bf (launched August 2023) granting up to 90 days for a single entry, decided typically within about 72 hours. Visa-on-arrival has been largely discontinued for ordinary passports, so do not rely on it. Always reconfirm with the destination authority before departure, as Burkina Faso's security and entry conditions can change at short notice.
