The visa-free facility enjoyed by Indian travelers who visited Hong Kong has been scrapped. Starting from January, all Indians visiting Hong Kong will have to complete a pre-arrival registration.
The Hong Kong Immigration department through its website announced that “the pre-arrival registration for Indian Nationals will be implemented on January 23, 2017.” The statement also says that the ‘Pre-arrival Registration for Indian Nationals is currently opened.
“Indian nationals must apply for and successfully complete pre-arrival registration online before they can visit or transit the HKSAR visa-free (if seeking to enter the HKSAR during transit). Pre-arrival registration is not required for Indian nationals in direct transit by air and not leaving the airport transit area,” it said.
According to reports, the scrapping of visa-free entry will affect over half a million Indians who travel to Hong Kong every year for business, holiday and trade purpose.
