Entry/Exit Requirements
"A passport with a minimum of six months validity remaining
and evidence of onward/return transportation by sea/air are required.
A visa is not required for tourist visits of up to 90 days by U.S.
citizens.
U.S. citizens who arrive in Hong Kong with an expired or damaged
passport may be refused entry and returned to the United States
at their own expense. The U.S. Consulate General cannot provide
guarantees on behalf of travelers in such situations, and therefore
encourages U.S. citizens to ensure their travel documents are valid
and in good condition prior to departure from the U.S. An extension
of stay may be granted upon application to the Hong Kong SAR Immigration
Department. Visas are required to work or study in Hong Kong . A
departure tax and an airport security tax must be paid at the airport,
unless these have been included in the traveler’s airfare.
Public transportation from Hong Kong's International Airport at
Chek Lap Kok to Central Hong Kong (about 25 miles) is readily available,
as are taxis. Travelers should exchange sufficient money for transportation
at the airport exchange facility located immediately outside the
baggage claim area. For the most current information concerning
entry and exit requirements, including required documentation, prohibited
items etc., travelers can consult the Hong Kong SAR Immigration
