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.
The Peak Tram
4.6/5
3808 reviewsAn absolute must-do in Hong Kong. The modernized sixth-generation tram is sleek and comfortable, yet the steep climb up Victoria Peak is as thrilling as ever. Watching the skyscrapers tilt at an impossible angle as you ascend through the hillside greenery is surreal. We paired our ride with admission to Sky Terrace 428 at the top, and the panoramic view across Victoria Harbour was unmatched. Iconic, smooth, and worth every cent.

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
A returning guest here! I'm not sure if it's because of the summer holiday, but it seems like all departments are so busy that some of the hygiene details aren't as good as before. As soon as I entered the room, before I even touched the bed, I found a short hair on the bedsheet (I have long hair, so it couldn't have been mine). Also, later that night, I wanted a drink and ordered some glasses, but they were incredibly dirty, as if they hadn't been washed at all (luckily, I hadn't had a drink yet). I hope these details can be followed up and improved.From€111

Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong|2.46km from city centre
The location is excellent, right outside the subway exit. It's just one stop from West Kowloon, and you can walk to Tsim Sha Tsui. Although it's an older hotel, the room facilities are a bit dated, but it's clean and hygienic with an 'old money' vibe. The front desk lady, Polly, upgraded our room for free, which made our stay very comfortable. Later, another front desk staff member in the evening helped us get a late check-out, which was incredibly thoughtful! Plus, I discovered that the nearby parking lot offers overnight parking for only 98! For drivers coming from Guangdong, this hotel is a great option. I'm already planning to drive here next time.From€84

Mong Kok Hong Kong|0.18km from city centre
A few years ago, I visited Hong Kong and stayed at Cordis for the first time, absolutely loving it. This time around, there was no question, I chose Cordis again. It's in a prime Mong Kok location, super convenient for transportation and shopping. The hotel lobby connects directly to Langham Place, and just outside, you'll find SaSa, Mannings, DONKI, and Matsukiyo. Famous local eateries like Fei Jie and 18 Seats Doggy Noodles are also within a 10-minute walk. Langham Place's basement connects to the MTR Tsuen Wan Line, offering direct access to Yau Ma Tei, Tsim Sha Tsui, and Central without any transfers.
The hotel has been open for about ten years or so, and it's generally well-maintained, though of course, it can't compare to a brand new hotel – that's a matter of personal preference. A pleasant surprise this time was finding ice machines in the hallway on our floor. The room facilities are quite comprehensive, though having to stand in the bathtub for a shower is a minor drawback. The bedding is very comfortable, especially the pillows; I slept incredibly well. The front desk staff are all very nice, communicating in Mandarin, offering cold towels, and proactively greeting guests. However, the ground floor staff didn't offer to help with luggage proactively, which was a slight oversight. All in all, if you're looking for ultimate convenience, choosing Cordis is definitely the right decision.From€118

The room was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, which made our stay very comfortable. We also appreciated having a bathtub to relax after a long day of exploring.
Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely consider staying at Royal Plaza Hotel again on our next trip to Hong Kong.From€91

Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong|2.53km from city centre
The breakfast was plentiful and catered well to the tastes of travelers from various regions.
The staff members were all very friendly, and the hotel's location is excellent, being a mere ten-minute walk to Victoria Harbour and situated in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui.
The bathtub is relatively low, making it easy for seniors to enter, and it's equipped with a non-slip mat and a grab bar on the wall to assist with standing up.
The deposit is one thousand Hong Kong dollars, payable by cash or credit card. If paid in cash, you receive the refund upon check-out; I paid by credit card, and the front desk said it would take 2-4 weeks to process. Nowadays, travelers rarely carry so much cash, and waiting almost a month for a deposit refund is truly inconvenient. I hope this can be improved.
Also, I've seen many reviews stating that no deposit was charged, so I'm unsure what the standard policy is regarding deposit collection.From€82

This is my second stay here this year, and it's still great. The hotel's shuttle bus goes to the subway station and nearby malls, which is super convenient.

I gave it a good review because I genuinely liked it.From€71

The location is fantastic, right next to Tin Hau, in a very local neighborhood. It's quiet but not isolated, and if my booking hadn't been non-refundable, I would have definitely extended my stay.
There are great food options nearby, like Wah So's Clear Broth Beef Brisket and the Black Sesame Ice Cream from Warm Heart Cheese.
The service attitude, from the lobby to the doorman, was very kind and friendly.
The room was small but had everything you needed. The bed was a bit short though, my 170cm kid's feet were hanging off the end! But overall, it was a good stay.From€49

North Point and Quarry Bay Hong Kong|4.24km from city centre
Overall, the hotel left a good impression. Everything was very clean, the hotel is modern, and the service was good. During our trip, we stayed at about five non-international chain hotels, and almost everywhere, upon our request and if rooms were available, we were given an upgrade.
Unfortunately, at this particular Hyatt, we encountered difficulties with this. We requested a higher floor room as we were very tired from our journey and wanted a quieter room due to street noise. We were denied and only offered a paid upgrade, even though rooms in other categories were available. This was a bit disappointing, especially considering our previous experiences at other Hyatt hotels.
I'd like to specifically mention the pool. We chose this hotel partly because of it, but when we arrived around 9 PM, there were many small children jumping from the sides and splashing vigorously. As a result, instead of a relaxing time after a long day, we felt uncomfortable. In my opinion, the hotel should consider implementing specific hours for families with small children, for example, until 6-8 PM, and make the pool an adult-only zone or for older children (e.g., 14-16 years and up) during later hours.
Also, at the front desk, we wanted to exchange dollars. We were told we could only exchange $50, but the bill was ultimately not accepted, and they also refused to give change from a $100 bill. Perhaps a more convenient currency exchange system for guests should be considered.
Overall, the hotel is good: modern, clean, and comfortable. However, some aspects of the service and pool organization, in my opinion, do not meet the standards one expects from a Hyatt.From€109

Prince Edward and Tai Kok Tsui Hong Kong|0.78km from city centre
The room was as advertised, and the cleaning staff and day staff are very friendly and able to help with any needs. The breakfast was fresh and filling with a good mix of both Chinese and Western foods. The lounge and laundry on the 2nd floor was also pleasant to sit in while waiting for laundry to finish but the dryer is set to very small loads and therefore our clothes did not dry. The only solution is to pay for another round if you have time to spare. There is no clothes line in the room.
The shuttle bus was excellent! The Olympic metro station is about 15 minutes walk away. Stay green and receive a coupon for the vending machine! It was nice to receive something for doing what we would normally do!From€59

Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong|2.64km from city centre
For Tsim Sha Tsui, this place is quite affordable, around 800 a night. The room is very small, and the ventilation system is almost non-existent; they provide an air purifier. The bedding is generally damp. It's best to leave one of the two key cards in the room to keep the air conditioning on all day. There are slippers but no dental kit, and all the facilities are quite compact. There's a bathtub, but it's combined with the showerhead. Anyway, that's how accommodation is in Hong Kong: if you want it cheap, the environment won't be great, and if you want spaciousness and a good environment, it will definitely be expensive. The hotel's location is excellent, with direct access to Tsim Sha Tsui East Station and Tsim Sha Tsui Station. You can walk underground to K11 and Harbour City, and Nathan Road is right outside. It's about a 15-minute walk straight to Victoria Harbour.From€70

The hotel facilities are comprehensive, and even though there were many guests, everything was well-ordered and the service was attentive. The bathroom exhaust fan was a bit loud, but easily fixed by turning it off when sleeping. Also, remember to bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste.

The L'hotel Nina et Convention Centre in Tsuen Wan West is a landmark five-star hotel in Hong Kong's New Territories. It's just a few minutes' walk from Tsuen Wan West MTR station and directly connected to major shopping malls via a footbridge, making travel and shopping incredibly convenient. The guest rooms are exceptionally spacious for a Hong Kong hotel, and the high-floor rooms boast expansive sea views or cityscapes with open, unobstructed vistas. The hotel is well-equipped with an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness center, and several specialty restaurants. Rooms are clean and comfortable, and the twin beds are generously sized, making it ideal for families. Compared to hotels in Hong Kong's city center, it offers outstanding value for money, making it a very practical choice for both leisure travelers and short transit stays.From€69

Mong Kok Hong Kong|0.49km from city centre
This hotel is absolutely fantastic! I spent a lot of time choosing among many hotels before my trip, needing something with convenient transportation, twin beds, and a slightly larger room. After careful selection, I landed on Metropark Hotel Mongkok.
The service here is the best I've experienced out of dozens of hotels I've stayed at in Hong Kong. From the front desk during check-in and check-out to the housekeeping staff, everyone made guests feel incredibly welcome and at home. The transportation is also super convenient, with two MTR lines just a few dozen meters' walk away. Nearby, you'll find everything you need: tea restaurants, BBQ places, McDonald's, Sasa, Wellcome, and ParknShop. A few hundred meters further down is the bustling Nathan Road.
The room itself was also spacious enough for three suitcases without a problem. They even provided a universal adapter, a weight scale, and earplugs, which was a great touch.
I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time!From€55

HongKong International Airport Hong Kong|24.16km from city centre
The room's decor and facilities are basically from the 1990s. There's no drinking water provided in the room; you have to get it yourself from a dispenser in the hallway.
On the day I stayed, there was also a pipe repair at the airport. When I checked in, I was told the toilet in my room couldn't flush and would be fixed by 6 PM. However, from the time I got back to my room that evening until I checked out the next morning, the toilet was only flushing with sewage. I was truly disgusted!
I didn't get much sleep that night either. The bed was too soft, and I was itching, I'm not sure if it was from dust mites or bed bugs.
The biggest and only advantage is its location, making it suitable for layovers, early morning flights, or aviation enthusiasts.From€89

Whenever I visit Hong Kong, I always stay at the same place – this one! It's super convenient for transport; I can just hop off the MTR with my luggage and it's a short walk, no need to figure out new routes. Downstairs, there are all sorts of delicious eats, from dim sum for breakfast to late-night snacks, so after a long day of exploring, I can just pop down for a bite. The supermarket next door is handy for grabbing water and fruit, and I can even catch a movie at the cinema in the evenings to relax.

Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong|2.59km from city centre
Honestly, this stay was a huge disappointment. I booked a high-end sea-view room at a steep price, but the service felt very perfunctory (was it because I'm a mainland Chinese tourist?). In hindsight, I shouldn't have passed on the Sheraton just because the room was too small, or the Grand Hyatt because of its less-than-ideal location. Even paying double the price for the Peninsula would have been a much happier experience.
As someone who travels frequently for business and leisure, I often stay at similarly-ranked Marriott, Hyatt, Sheraton, Hilton, and Westin hotels. In the past 10 years, whenever I've arrived early and the hotel had an available room, they've always allowed early check-in, and this applies to hotels both in mainland China and abroad. I understand that the 3 PM check-in time is standard contractual practice, but I also believe whether a hotel accommodates early check-in reflects its attitude, especially since with limited transportation options and times, who can guarantee they'll never arrive early? On the day of my arrival, at 1 PM, the weather in Hong Kong was bad with heavy rain expected in the afternoon. I was with my child, and under those circumstances, I had to go out and kill two hours.
Despite clearly indicating that children would be staying, no children's toiletries were prepared in advance, something I've never encountered at any high-end hotel before.
Then, the room key card wouldn't open the door after multiple attempts.
I also requested a high-floor room when booking, but was still assigned a low floor. This trip made me realize that being a Ctrip Gold Diamond member carries little weight at this hotel. If that's the case, why does the platform bother recommending it to people?
In short, I won't be returning. I don't love those who don't love me; why spend money where you're not valued? Perhaps some might say I didn't ask for early check-in? My decade-plus of hotel experience has taught me one thing: I won't ask for anything. If they don't proactively offer it, it reflects the hotel's attitude. And this is the Shangri-La, once lauded as the pinnacle of service!
To be fair, though I'm not a fan of their decor style, the sea view from the room was indeed excellent, and the room itself was quite spacious.From€201

I saw the Black Diamond Wow Privilege and it was my child's birthday, so I thought I'd try the Rosewood Hong Kong, which I've long heard is the best. We stayed for two nights. First, I'd say the check-in experience was quite good. I booked two rooms, one with a Kowloon view and one with a sea view, and requested they be on the same floor in advance. Trip.com customer service followed up, and indeed, we got rooms on the same floor. However, we didn't receive the room upgrade mentioned in the Wow Privilege. We checked in at 4 PM, and the rooms were ready with a handwritten welcome letter and a fruit platter (three oranges) in each. I didn't mention my child's birthday during check-in, so we didn't get a birthday cake on their actual birthday. I feel the attention to detail in service was a bit lacking – a deduction for attentiveness. The hotel front desk also didn't mention the Wow Privilege or the option for a 2-hour late check-out. The staff's service attitude was excellent; they switched seamlessly between English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. Breakfast was semi-buffet style, with some items for self-service and others to order from a menu. Although the variety wasn't extensive, the food was well-prepared and delicious. My only slight disappointment was that the wonton noodles on the first day were amazing, but when I ordered them again on the second day, they were significantly less impressive, with a bland and tasteless broth. The hot waffles were delicious both days 😋. The turndown service every night was excellent, and the room cleaning was very thorough. During our stay, we also tried the spa, pool, and gym, all of which I highly recommend.From€653

Opted for the Regal Riverside Hotel in Hong Kong again, it's a great value-for-money hotel in the city.
**Location:** Situated right next to Sha Tin town center, with direct airport bus access, making transportation incredibly convenient. There are plenty of beauty stores, convenience stores, supermarkets, and restaurants nearby, offering a wide array of dining options. My room had a stunning view of Shing Mun River, with mountains and water – a picturesque landscape that was absolutely beautiful.
**Facilities:** This time I stayed in a single king-sized bed room. It's much smaller than the twin-bed room I had before, but for a solo traveler staying one night, it was just right. The facilities were quite complete.
**Service:** They offer luggage storage both before check-in and after check-out, which is very helpful. However, check-in is strictly after 3 PM, and early check-in is not permitted, so you need to time your arrival accordingly. The front desk staff speaks Mandarin and English, which is very convenient.
**Cleanliness:** It was very clean, as always.From€63

This was my first stay at the hotel. The room was very comfortable and clean. The bedding was good, and it was quiet enough. However, getting the room took far too long; I didn't get it until 5:30 PM. The air conditioning system stopped working in the morning, and it took 30 minutes for the technician to arrive for repairs, which was a bit slow. The swimming pool was clean. For the main pool, children are required to wear life jackets, which is quite inconvenient for kids who already know how to swim, regardless of their age. Please consider changing this rule. Life jackets should only be required if a parent is not accompanying them.From€106

I spent a long time searching and filtering options on the platform before my trip. After much deliberation, I booked two rooms with some trepidation: one king-size and one twin-bed room. Even before entering the lobby, I felt a wave of warmth as soon as I stepped out of the taxi. Someone immediately helped me with my luggage, and check-in was quite fast. I didn't even have to carry my own bags; the hotel staff brought them directly to our rooms. The bedding was very comfortable, and even though it was a partial sea view, we could still see the night view of Victoria Harbour, which was absolutely perfect. Just outside the hotel, there's a 7-Eleven and a really delicious egg waffle stall. It's also super convenient for taking the MTR and buses. To anyone still hesitating, go ahead and book it! You definitely won't be disappointed. I'll choose to stay here again on my next trip to Hong Kong!From€161

Wan Chai and Causeway Bay Hong Kong|4.82km from city centre
Located in the Causeway Bay district, it's within walking distance to the main commercial area, making dining and shopping very convenient. The hotel lobby is on the third floor, which is quite accessible. You can get a decent view of Victoria Peak. Hotel room sizes in Hong Kong are generally similar, and for this price, it's a great deal.From€34

Tsuen Wan Hong Kong|7.43km from city centre
First off, the air conditioning in the room wasn't working, which was unbearable given the hot weather. They did help us switch rooms later. The only downside was that the front desk phone was practically impossible to reach; you had to go downstairs yourself to ask anything. Second, the bathroom facilities were a bit old-fashioned, and the bathtub was quite low. Third, regarding transportation, there's an airport shuttle right on the G floor, and downstairs there's a supermarket and restaurants, all very convenient. Getting to the MTR station is easy; you just tap your Octopus card downstairs, and you get a HK$2 discount daily when going to Tai Wo Hau by MTR. The hotel's shuttle service to Tsim Sha Tsui has also been adjusted. Overall, it's still a good value-for-money hotel. I hope the hotel staff's service attitude can improve; that would make it even better.From€51

Wan Chai and Causeway Bay Hong Kong|4.62km from city centre
Location: About a 5-minute walk from Wan Chai MTR station, with excellent bus connections, making transportation quite convenient. There are also plenty of dining options nearby.
Service: The front desk and room service staff were very kind and patient during check-in. When I called the front desk from my room for service, there was no discrimination against Mandarin speakers. The complimentary bottled water was a huge plus, especially on such a hot day.
Cleanliness: The interior of the guest room and the hotel lobby were clean and well-maintained. The cleaning staff were also very nice.
Facilities: Oh, the Wi-Fi in the room was a bit elusive with a poor signal. However, the air conditioning was very powerful, and the bedding was fantastic. I had a very comfortable stay in my king-size room.
Overall, for 700 a night, it's an absolute steal at this price point. If you plan on exploring Hong Kong Island extensively and prefer a quiet, hassle-free stay, this is a no-brainer.From€47

HongKong International Airport Hong Kong|23.37km from city centre
Excellent hotel! They offer a shuttle service to and from the airport and Tung Chung MTR station, making it super convenient for shopping at Citygate Outlets. The only minor drawback is the lack of a shuttle to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge port. The room was very clean, and while not huge, it was modern and tidy.
I'd suggest the hotel consider adding a shuttle service to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge port.From€58
