Visiting Hong Kong: Sri Lankan citizen → Hong Kong
🛂
You need a visit visa / entry permit
Sri Lanka passport holders must hold a valid visa / entry permit to visit Hong Kong — apply via a Chinese diplomatic mission or the HKSAR Immigration Department before you travel.
The bottom line
- A visa/entry permit is issued only on receipt of an original, properly completed application form with photographs.
- Apply at the nearest Chinese diplomatic/consular mission, or directly to the HKSAR Immigration Department by post or through a local sponsor.
- Meeting the requirements is not an automatic right to land — the HKSAR immigration authorities may still refuse entry.
When to start
Start 21–42 days before your travel date.
