What is a Hong Kong Visa for Indian Travellers?
Indian citizens travelling to Hong Kong for a short duration, for example, a business meeting or holiday, do not need a Hong Kong visa.
Pre-Arrival Registration (PAR)
- You must complete Pre-Arrival Registration (PAR) to visit visa-free for 14 days. Without the PAR slip, you will not be allowed to enter the HKSAR.
- The PAR is valid for multiple entries for six months. It allows Indian travellers to make multiple short visits without needing to register every time.
- Important Note: PAR is not an official visa. A Hong Kong Pre-arrival Registration (PAR) is a free, fast online digital authorisation for Indian passport holders that allows them visa-free short visits up to 14 days. On the other hand, a standard Hong Kong visa requires detailed documentation, processing time, and fees. It is mandatory for long stays, employment, or if the applicant is ineligible for PAR.
When Will Indian Travellers Require a Hong Kong Visa?
As an Indian passport holder, if you are travelling to Hong Kong for reasons beyond tourism or short business meetings, for instance, employment or study, you will need a Hong Kong visa.
Visa Extension
Indian travellers who intend to stay beyond 14 days can apply for an extension with Hong Kong’s Immigration Department. However, the Immigration Department does not guarantee the approval of extension.
Hong Kong Visa for Indian Travellers Eligibility Criteria
Indian passport holders must apply for and complete pre-arrival registration online before they can visit HKSAR visa-free. Indian nationals who are in direct air transit and not leaving the airport transit area do not need Pre-arrival Registration. They can use the online service to apply for pre-arrival registration free of charge if they:
- Hold an Indian passport valid for at least six months.
- Want to visit or transit (except in direct air transit without leaving the airport transit area) the HKSAR for a stay that doesn’t exceed 14 days.
Pre-arrival registration does not apply to Indian nationals who have the right of abode or the right to land in Hong Kong, are on unconditional stay in Hong Kong or have a valid permission to remain in Hong Kong for employment, study or residence.
Subject to meeting normal immigration conditions, some categories of Indian nationals may visit Hong Kong without PAR. These include:
- Holders of a valid Indian diplomatic or official passport.
- Holders of a UN Laissez-Passer coming to Hong Kong or transiting Hong Kong to/from a third place for official UN business.

Documents Required for a Hong Kong Visa/PAR for Indian Travellers
Requirements vary slightly by visa type. But generally, you will need:
- A valid Indian passport with a minimum of 6 months’ validity from your date of entry.
- A recent passport-size photograph.
- Confirmed return or onward flight tickets.
- Proof of accommodation.
- Proof of adequate funds to cover your stay (the application commonly requires bank statements).
- A duly filled visa application form (for full visa applications only).
For Business Visits: An invitation letter from the host company in Hong Kong
For Employment or Student Visas: Extra documents such as the job contract, bank statements, savings passbooks or scholarship letters showing sufficient funds to cover tuition and living costs without working, and a sponsorship letter, or an admission letter from the educational institution.

Applying for a Hong Kong Visa for Indians - General Procedures
Image Source: Hong Kong Immigration Department
Visit the GovHK Website
- The first step is to visit the GovHK website to complete the pre-arrival registration.
- You should enter the correct information truthfully. The information should fully match the information in your Indian passport.
Registration Processing
- After entering the required information, the system auto-processes the registration. Once processed, you will instantly receive the registration result.
- After applying for the registration, you must print the “Notification Slip for Pre-arrival Registration for Indian Nationals” (the notification slip) that the computer system generates on a blank sheet of A4 white paper.
Sign the Notification Slip
- Next, you must sign the notification slip.
- However, before signing it, you must check the data you’ve entered on the notification slip to confirm its accuracy as per the passport.
Use the Notification Slip
- Further, you must use the notification slip in conjunction with the specific Indian passport linked to the pre-arrival registration.
Important Points to Remember
- If you renew or replace your passport or change your personal particulars after pre-arrival registration, you must re-apply based on the new passport or personal particulars.
- For applicants under 16 years of age, either their parent or legal guardian must check the entered data and sign the slip.
- If you couldn’t complete the pre-arrival registration, you must apply for an entry visa to the Immigration Department directly.
Is there a Hong Kong Visa-on-Arrival for Indians?
- Hong Kong does not offer visa-on-arrival for Indian passport holders. Therefore, you cannot land in Hong Kong and get a visa stamped at the airport.
- Instead, you must complete Pre-Arrival Registration before departure.
- Once it is approved, you must print the notification slip, carry it with your passport, and present both at immigration counters when you arrive.
- Hence, often, people mistakenly think of PAR as "visa on arrival". The actual clearance happens on arrival. However, the registration must be done beforehand, ideally a few days before your flight.

Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong|2.67km from city centre
The hotel opened in 1969 and was renovated in 2011. To be honest, it is indeed a bit dated, but considering how space is at a premium in Hong Kong, the room is actually quite spacious. Facing the main road, the room was surprisingly quiet at night with virtually no noise.
Despite its age, the service really deserves a special shoutout! We arrived quite late, and the young lady from Hunan at the front desk who checked us in was extremely warm and welcoming, speaking standard Mandarin the entire time. After checking in, when the housekeeping lady saw the bottled water we bought, she kindly told us that buying water outside is expensive and that if we needed more, just to let her know and she would bring it to the room (and sure enough, from the second day onwards, we had two extra bottles of water in our room [Shy][Shy]).
We booked the breakfast this time. The selection isn't huge, but based on Hong Kong standards, I'd still recommend getting the breakfast included.
All in all, the hotel is definitely a bit old, but the location is truly great. If you prioritize location, price, and room size, it's worth a try~
One more tip: Since it's an older hotel, make sure to bring a plug adapter, otherwise your phone might end up as a brick [Smile]FromHK$2,253

During the National Day holiday, I chose the Regal Hotel for my trip to Hong Kong. The hotel has this vibe of economic boom from the 90s, full of old money Western style. The location is superb, very convenient for food and drinks, with a McDonald's and tea restaurants right downstairs. There are also many bus stops nearby. The MTR station is a bit further to walk, but 6-8 minutes is acceptable. The room isn't very big, and the air conditioning is cold enough, though the temperature control isn't on the wall. The facilities are a bit old, and there are no toiletries for children. Most of the hotel staff are polite and smiling, which is great. I would choose this hotel again if I'm going to Causeway Bay.FromHK$1,637

Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong|1.89km from city centre
I stayed at this hotel for 6 days during the latter part of the National Day holiday for a business trip. The price was reasonable, but the room was way too small and the lighting a bit dim. Besides, the customer service was just average. It felt like there were a lot of Southeast Asian tourists, so it was a bit noisy. On the bright side, the hotel has a good location. There seems to be a Korean food street nearby with many supermarkets, including a very famous dumpling restaurant that many top stars have visited. Also, the nearby century-old ”Lin Heung Kui” offers distinct Hong Kong-style dim sum, and there are local supermarkets like DS Groceries and Wellcome. Moreover, it's about a 7-minute walk to the Jordan MTR station, with plenty of roast goose restaurants nearby at moderate prices. Plus, Harbour City is about 10 minutes away, though the area gets quite crowded with tourists.FromHK$1,035

A high-value choice in Tsim Sha Tsui! The location is a huge plus—it's within walking distance to the MTR station, with plenty of shopping malls and local eateries nearby. Strolling to Victoria Harbour and the Avenue of Stars is also very convenient. The front desk staff provided thoughtful service and luggage storage was available.

Close to Tsim Sha Tsui, easily reachable by following GPS navigation. You can check the map for the exact distance to the MTR station. It's quite convenient, with endless options for shopping and dining right nearby.
Considered myself quite lucky to get a suite in Tsim Sha Tsui—having this much space is truly a rarity. Ten years ago, I paid over 1,000 HKD for a room in Jordan that was much, much smaller. The suite is a great size and very spacious. Being on the top floor, it was very quiet.
Just a tip for taking a taxi: make sure you specify the Empire Hotel Tsim Sha Tsui, as we accidentally ended up at a different Empire Hotel. Getting a taxi in Hong Kong is also quite a hassle.FromHK$1,258

The hotel staff were very welcoming and fluent in Mandarin. The room size was moderate, which is quite sufficient for two people to stay and manage their luggage, especially considering Hong Kong's prime real estate. The cleanliness was good, with no obvious overlooked spots. The hotel location is a bit far from the MTR station (City One), about a 15-minute walk. While it might feel a bit too far for someone exhausted from shopping, the slightly more affordable price makes up for the distance.FromHK$1,233

Wan Chai and Causeway Bay Hong Kong|4.45km from city centre
📍The location is perfect for exploring and sightseeing in Hong Kong! It's a 5-minute walk straight to the Tin Hau MTR station. My main stops this trip were Central and Lantau Island, and being on the same MTR line made getting around very smooth. If you want to head across the harbor to Tsim Sha Tsui and other areas, both the MTR and the Star Ferry are super convenient. The hotel is right next to Victoria Park, just a short stroll away. The surrounding area has great amenities—supermarkets, pharmacies, and breakfast spots are all within easy reach, making shopping and breakfast hassle-free.
As everyone knows, space in Hong Kong comes at a premium and rooms tend to be on the smaller side. However, the double room here easily accommodated a 24-inch suitcase. The water pressure in the shower was strong and made for a very comfortable shower. The only minor drawback is that the sink area is a bit narrow.
I usually worry about pests in older, renovated hotels, but the cleanliness here was quite good. The cleaning lady I met was warm, friendly, and very thorough. Personally, I'd still recommend bringing your own disposable bed linens and anti-bug spray—I didn't get bitten by any insects during my entire stay.
The room comes with two complimentary bottles of drinking water. The front desk service was warm and attentive, there's a dining area on the first floor, and the breakfast selection is quite decent.
Minor drawback: The AC unit is a bit noisy when running.
Pros: Requests were handled promptly, luggage storage is free upon check-out, and no hotel deposit is required.
Considering the price, location, and service, it offers great value for money.FromHK$990

A fantastic experience and a hotel that is well-suited for a solo trip. From the doormen to the front desk, the service felt very pleasant and effortless. Because I arrived early, I didn't get to check in at the executive lounge.
Definitely go for the sea view room without hesitation, and try to request a corner room if possible—it's very comfortable, and the harbor view is stunning.
The lounge and breakfast were both quite good; the beef satay noodles were mind-blowingly delicious! The hotel gym and swimming pool are both very spacious, complete with locker rooms.
The service staff were warm and patient, regardless of whether they were local Hong Kong staff or expatriates. I will probably stay at Hyatt Centric Victoria Harbour Hong Kong again next time I visit.
The email follow-up was also genuine and professional, and I look forward to seeing improvements on the shortcomings mentioned in the email.FromHK$2,955

The room facilities are a bit dated, but it was exceptionally clean with zero weird smells. It's compact yet fully equipped with everything you need. The hotel offers a free shuttle bus departing on the hour from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, which is quite convenient. Bottled water is not provided, but there are water dispensers in the common areas on three of the floors, so you can easily go to the nearest floor to get water. The hotel is about a 10-plus minute walk from Mong Kok MTR Station. Light sleepers should think twice before booking; we stayed on the 7th floor and were woken up by the MTR sounds a little after 5:00 AM—it felt like the trains were running right underneath us! The room has USB ports, but if the two of you have multiple devices, bringing a travel adapter is still recommended.FromHK$1,280

I stayed in the Garden Sea View King Room. 1. The room has large windows and feels bright overall; 2. The view is nice, overlooking the garden downstairs and a partial view of Victoria Harbour. The night cityscape is quite vibrant and left a good impression, though if you want a full, unobstructed view of the entire harbor, staying near K11 would be a better choice; 3. The floor was relatively quiet, and the other guests were well-behaved; 4. There was no overhead lighting in the bedroom, only bedside lamps on both sides.

What stood out right away was the front desk team—they were exceptionally welcoming, professional, and efficient during check-in. I was also thrilled when they thoughtfully placed my room on an upper floor, offering a breathtaking harbour view.
The housekeeping staff also deserves a special shout-out for keeping the room spotless and comfortable throughout my stay. I also appreciated the hotel’s eco-friendly touch: in compliance with Hong Kong government regulations regarding single-use plastics, they kindly provided two complimentary welcome mineral waters to keep us refreshed.

HongKong International Airport Hong Kong|24.16km from city centre
This time, we stayed here with our child for a trip to Disneyland.
The room was neater and cleaner than the Panda Hotel where we stayed before. However, for some reason, the TV wouldn't turn on. I noticed the plug was unplugged, so I plugged it in, but it still didn't work. Well, we weren't going to watch it anyway, so I didn't care.
Also, the air conditioning was shockingly freezing! Even turning the temperature setting up to max, it wouldn't go above 20°C 💦. Since we arrived late at night and just wanted to go to sleep quickly, I turned the power off and slept in my clothes.
Whether we just got unlucky with the room or not, you can't deny the facilities are a bit dated, but the convenience of walking straight from the airport to the hotel is amazing! To be honest, though, I think the price is a bit high...
Oh, and we were supposed to have a breakfast-included plan for one person, but we weren't given any information about it at all. We weren't planning on having breakfast at the hotel anyway, so it's fine...
Even so, I would still like to stay here again. Hopefully, next time in a decent room.

Location - Not all travelers are looking to stay in the New Territories, but I have a lot of family in NT, so it makes it more convenient for me to meet up with them. And there are still plenty of malls in NT. The hotel, specifically, is connected to +Woo mall, and there is another phase of the mall right across. You don't even have to cross over car traffic to get to the other mall. The airport bus stops right in front of the hotel, and there is a bus stop across the street. I've taken it to Mong Kok. The Ginza station light rail is also right in front of the hotel.
Cleanliness - This is an older hotel that could use a face lift, so a lot of the stains are already embedded into the rooms and even the pool. But the overall cleanliness is acceptable.
Service - This isn't a 5-star hotel, so don't expect any extraordinary service like room service. However, the staff are all really willing to help and extremely courteous.
Facilities - My family used the gym room and pool. The pool is acceptable but could use a renovation.FromHK$794

Clean, comfortable room with a great harbour view, but just okay overall
Stayed one night in a Premier Twin Room with a friend. The room was spotless, with fresh bedding, a tidy bathroom, and no complaints at all on cleanliness. The view over Victoria Harbour was a real highlight, and the room had everything we needed for a short stay.
Location was average. It's in the Wan Chai harbourfront area, so getting to the MTR and the main shopping and food spots takes a bit of walking. Service was fine but nothing memorable: check-in was straightforward, but staff weren't especially warm or proactive.

1. The location is super convenient if you plan to hang out in Tsim Sha Tsui. The MTR station is literally a one-minute walk downstairs, and various restaurants are within a 15-minute walk, making it easy to head back whenever you want. Victoria Harbour is right downstairs, and it's only about a 10-minute stroll to the Avenue of Stars for some great photos.
2. The front desk staff were extremely polite and professional, and even surprised us with complimentary breakfast and cute panda souvenirs. Thank you! The handsome guy and the young lady who assisted us in the afternoon were both warm, welcoming, and very attentive.
3. While online reviews mentioned that the hotel decor was a bit dated, it is actually very well-maintained, clean, and spacious. The furnishings feel high-quality, and it didn't feel old-fashioned at all compared to what we expected.

Overall, Hotel ICON is a beautiful property with great facilities and exceptional service. From the moment you step into the lobby, you’re greeted by an incredibly fresh, clean scent that immediately sets the tone for the experience. The staff is extremely courteous, helpful, and accommodating, and everyone we interacted with made us feel welcome.
Our room wasn’t ready when we arrived, but we were still able to enjoy breakfast at The Market and spend some time relaxing in the lounge by the pool, which was a nice way to start our stay.
The room itself was surprisingly spacious, especially by Hong Kong standards, and everything was clean and well-maintained. Overall, the accommodations and amenities were exactly what we hoped for.
Unfortunately, my biggest issue with the hotel, and something that genuinely soured an otherwise wonderful experience, was the deposit policy.
Despite having already paid for our entire stay in full, we were required to provide a security deposit that was twice the cost of our booking. To make matters worse, the deposit had to be placed on a major credit card. Thankfully, my girlfriend had hers available, because otherwise we would have been in a difficult position despite having already paid for our accommodations.
What I found even more unreasonable was being informed that the deposit could remain on hold for up to two weeks after checkout. That’s a substantial amount of money to have tied up, particularly for international travelers who may be visiting multiple destinations and relying on access to those funds throughout their trip.
I completely understand the need for hotels to protect themselves against incidental charges or potential damages, but requiring a deposit equivalent to twice the cost of an already prepaid stay feels excessive. It’s an unnecessarily inconvenient policy that stands in stark contrast to the otherwise thoughtful and accommodating experience the hotel provides.
Hotel ICON has a lot going for it, from its beautiful facilities to its genuinely excellent staff. I would have loved to leave a glowing review without any reservations, but the deposit policy is something I think prospective guests absolutely deserve to know about before booking. And probably a big reason why I would book elsewhere when visiting Hong Kong againFromHK$2,540

The nearby restaurants and sights are still exciting and fun. I know I’ll be able to expect the same great service here.FromHK$761

Tsuen Wan Hong Kong|7.43km from city centre
This was my second stay, and I once again chose the high-floor Executive King Room, which offered a wide, unobstructed view and was very quiet. A special thank you to Ms. Joey from the concierge team! She was extremely attentive, proactively asking about my travel plans and recommending transportation options. Her directions to West Kowloon and Tsim Sha Tsui were also very clear. This kind of warm and professional service immediately put me at ease upon check-in. The hotel is located right above a shopping mall, making dining and entertainment extremely convenient. This will definitely be my top choice again when I visit Hong Kong next time!FromHK$884

Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong|2.55km from city centre
Whenever I visit Hong Kong, I always choose to stay at The Langham, Hong Kong. This stay was just as brilliant as ever, with service that felt even more attentive and touching than before.
The hotel's location is second to none, practically adjacent to the MTR station. It's a 5-minute walk to the Star Ferry, Harbour City, and The Peninsula, and just 5 to 6 minutes to the Hong Kong Cultural Centre. Core attractions and shopping districts in Tsim Sha Tsui are all within walking distance, making getting around completely hassle-free.
At check-in, Kelly at the front desk was warm and thorough, carefully verifying my preferences and thoughtfully arranging the room according to my notes. At check-out, Hazel was equally gentle and detail-oriented, making the whole departure smooth and pleasant. The guest room facilities are well-maintained, comfortable, and cozy.
I also had the hotel's afternoon tea this time; the serving staff were professional and attentive, delivering top-notch service. The unique elegance of a classic heritage hotel, combined with spot-on, caring service, makes this place a comforting choice every single time.FromHK$2,901

Wan Chai and Causeway Bay Hong Kong|4.62km from city centre
Much better than expected! I’d almost decided against booking here after reading some reviews, but I’m glad I did. The room was cleaned thoroughly, and I stayed on the 16th floor. The new staff members were exceptionally warm, friendly, and polite. Overall service was excellent. The only downside is the poor soundproofing—doors slamming in neighboring rooms were clearly audible. That said, everything else was great.FromHK$1,382

HongKong International Airport Hong Kong|23.37km from city centre
Regala Skycity Hotel is located within the SKYCITY development at the Hong Kong International Airport, offering great convenience for accessing the airport, 11 SKIES, and AsiaWorld-Expo. The hotel provides a free airport shuttle bus, and it is also about a 5–10 minute walk from Terminal 2 via a covered, air-conditioned footbridge. For travelers who prefer not to drag their luggage straight into the city upon arrival and want to rest and recharge for a night before starting their trip, this location is a huge plus.
The hotel feels very new overall, and the check-in process was smooth. The guest rooms feature some of the familiar design language of Regal-affiliated hotels—clean lines, comfortable space planning, and a genuinely functional desk. I particularly appreciated this: unlike some hotels in Hong Kong that sacrifice overall spaciousness and dignity to compress square footage, even the smaller room types here still give you the feeling that you could comfortably stay for a few days, rather than just ”sleep and go.”
The room is also well-executed in terms of ergonomic details. I liked the consistent, standardized elements shared with other Regal properties like iclub—such as the sleek modern design and Regal Living toiletries. For guests familiar with the hotel group, this consistency builds strong brand recognition.
There are a few minor suggestions that I only really noticed after staying for a few days.
First, the extensive use of marble, glass, and reflective mirrors certainly enhances the sense of cleanliness, spaciousness, and the modern vibe befitting SKYCITY. However, if you stay for several consecutive days, the overall ambiance in some areas can feel a bit cold. Especially as winter approaches, adding a touch of warmth through carpets, textiles, or soft furnishings—without disrupting the original design—would make the living experience feel more complete.
Second, the bathroom area lacks convenient spots for hanging bath towels or a change of clothes. Adding one or two hooks or a rack would be a small but very practical upgrade.
Third, the room type I booked was labeled as a Garden View, but the window actually looks out mainly onto the pool. The view itself is fine, but due to lines of sight from certain angles to the pool area, guests who value privacy and like to keep their curtains wide open during the day might find it a bit different from their usual understanding of a ”garden view.” Making the room category names or view descriptions slightly more precise would make it easier for guests when booking.
The self-service laundry room is a facility I really liked, which is especially practical for long-term guests or anyone needing to do laundry during their trip. However, the service flow on-site could be a bit more seamless—for instance, clearly stating whether laundry detergent needs to be brought by guests or can be purchased at the front desk, or setting up a small vending machine for single-use laundry pods. For guests staying just a night or two who arrive by plane, they usually don't travel with a full pack of laundry supplies. Bridging this final step would make the whole experience much smoother.
The lobby also features some fun and easily overlooked details, such as a self-service photo printer and a remarkably quiet business center. The business center is in a great spot with views of the hotel entrance and passing vehicles, making it ideal for a quick work session or just sitting for a while. On the flip side, airflow in certain lobby areas still has room for improvement; areas like the lounge with the elephant art installation and some of the restaurant booth seating can feel a bit stuffy and warm when you linger for a while.
Breakfast was a highlight of this stay. The selection was rich and practical, featuring both Chinese and Western options, alongside local Hong Kong-style breakfast items such as siu mai, glutinous rice chicken, custard buns, and congee. Parts of the bakery section were also labeled as homemade—details like this show that the hotel isn't just serving up a standardized international breakfast, but actually retains a bit of its own F&B identity.
Design-wise, I loved the overall streamlined flow of the hotel and the use of water, fire, and natural imagery throughout the space. This fluid, futuristic design language fits the SKYCITY airport-city concept wonderfully, without completely disconnecting from the surrounding mountains and seas of Lantau Island.
The staff were all friendly, helpful, and highly efficient.
All in all, these are just minor suggestions and in no way detract from a comfortable stay. On the contrary, I feel the greatest value of Regala Skycity Hotel is that it offers a very mature option for ”post-arrival recovery”: you don't have to plunge straight into city transit right after getting off a plane; instead, you can check in, shower, eat, rest, and recover your energy before starting your Hong Kong itinerary the next day.
For me, this isn't just a ”hotel near the airport,” but a genuinely useful travel hub. Whenever I return to Hong Kong in the future, I would gladly choose to stay here again if the itinerary permits 😙FromHK$776
