Hong Kong Pre-Arrival Registration (PAR)

For most short-term visitors, the PAR offers a convenient way to enter Hong Kong. When you complete your PAR, you'll receive an authorization that remains valid for six months from the application date. During this period, you can make multiple trips to Hong Kong, with each stay lasting up to 14 days. 
 

Documents required to apply for the Hong Kong PAR:

  • Passport, valid for at least 6 months
  • Travel history (the latest five countries/regions visited within the past three years, if applicable)

Notes:

  • Hong Kong SAR Immigration Department does not charge anything to issue PAR.
  • If your passport is issued at Amritsar, Chandigarh, or Hyderabad, and you are travelling to Hong Kong for the first time, there is a high chance of PAR rejection. If your PAR is rejected, you will have to apply for the Hong Kong e-visa.


Hong Kong e-Visa

If you're planning to stay in Hong Kong for more than 14 days, an e-Visa is mandatory. Additionally, if your PAR application is unsuccessful, you'll need to pursue the e-Visa route. The Hong Kong Immigration Department carefully reviews each e-Visa application and determines two key aspects: whether to issue a single-entry or multiple-entry visa, and the duration of stay they'll authorize.

Documents required for Hong Kong e-visa:

  • Passport, valid for at least 6 months
  • Recent photograph
  • Cover letter
  • Employment information, salary slips for employed persons, and proof of business for self-employed individuals
  • Latest ITR or Last 6 months' bank statement
  • Flight tickets

Notes:

  • e-visa can take up to 40 days to process, so you should apply according to the travel dates.
  • The duration of the e-visa and the type of the e-visa (single-entry/multiple-entry) are decided by the Hong Kong immigration department.
  • Do I need a visa for Hong Kong SAR?

    Indian travelers can travel to Hong Kong SAR visa-free for up to 14 days. However, you must fill out the Pre-Arrival Registration form before travelling. 

  • What if my Hong Kong PAR is rejected?

    If your PAR is rejected, you can apply for the Hong Kong e-visa.

    Note: If your passport is issued at Amritsar, Chandigarh, or Hyderabad, and you are travelling to Hong Kong for the first time, there is a high chance of PAR rejection. If your PAR is rejected, you will have to apply for the Hong Kong e-visa.

    Once you enter the information and submit the PAR, the information cannot be edited. The personal information on Hong Kong PAR must match the information on your passport, otherwise, you can be denied entry into Hong Kong. In case a mistake was made, apply for a new PAR immediately with the correct information.

  • What if my travel plans change, is my PAR still valid?

    PAR has a validity of 6 months. If your travel plans change, you can still travel on the same PAR within the 6-month validity. If you do not intend to travel anymore, the PAR will expire after 6 months and you will need to apply for a new PAR for future travel.
