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

HKSAR ordinary passport holders do not need a visa for short tourist visits to Venezuela. You may stay up to 90 days on a free tourist card (Tarjeta de Ingreso) issued by the airline on arrival, on presentation of a valid passport and a return or onward ticket. Holders of a Hong Kong SAR ordinary passport enjoy visa-free access to Venezuela for tourism. The Venezuelan government extends its Tourist Card (Tarjeta de Ingreso) system to HKSAR passport holders, permitting stays of up to 90 days for tourism without a consular visa. The tourist card is issued free of charge by the authorised air carrier when you present a valid passport and a confirmed return or onward air ticket; you fill it in before or on arrival and present it to the immigration officer, who stamps your entry. The Hong Kong Immigration Department lists Venezuela among destinations offering visa-free access to HKSAR passport holders, and this is corroborated by Wikipedia's visa-requirements tables and by commercial visa-information services. Your passport should be valid for at least six months from the date of entry. Note that this 90-day visa-free arrangement applies to tourism/short visits only; work, study, journalism or long-term stays require a visa obtained in advance from a Venezuelan consulate. The waiver is nationality/document specific (for example, US citizens currently do require a visa), so the channel below applies specifically to the HKSAR ordinary passport. Travellers should also be aware of Venezuela's elevated safety and political situation and consult current travel advisories before booking. Always reconfirm with the Venezuelan consulate or your airline shortly before travel, as Venezuela has periodically adjusted entry rules.
