Flying to Hong Kong: Your Travel Guide
Travel to Hong Kong
Flying to Hong Kong is straightforward, with the Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) serving as the main entry point. Direct flights to Hong Kong are available from many major cities globally. To see a list of airlines flying to Hong Kong, please refer to this website.
Once you arrive, transportation from the airport to central Hong Kong is efficient, with options like the Airport Express (a 24-minute ride to Central), buses, and taxis. Attendees should arrange their own transportation between the airport and the conference hotel.
Visa
Visitors of all nationalities to Hong Kong must travel with their passport. Depending on your nationality, your passport must be valid for at least one to six months following your stay in the city. Nationals of most countries do not require a visa to enter Hong Kong for tourism and can stay for periods varying from seven to 180 days, depending on nationality.
Please visit here to see if you may need to apply for the visa. Should you need one, please start your application at least two months before your departure to allow enough time for the administrative processes and observe the visa application requirements here. A letter of invitation to support your application is available upon request during registration.
The Hong Kong Immigration Department has introduced electronic services for visa applications in phases to allow applicants to complete the entire process of visa-related applications online. Please visit this website for more details.
IMPORTANT: The entry arrangements for Hong Kong are different from those for the Chinese Mainland. You will need a separate visa if you plan on travelling to the Chinese Mainland during this trip. Please consult your local Chinese Embassy on the requirements.
You will be asked during the registration process to indicate if you would like to receive a letter of invitation to assist you in applying for a visa.
