Transit visa for Liberian

Question

Do a librarian traveling to Philippine who is transiting through hongkong for less then 24hours without leaving the airport still need hongkong transit visa?

Answer

If a Liberian citizen is transiting through Hong Kong for less than 24 hours and does not leave the airport’s restricted transit area, a Hong Kong transit visa is generally not required. This is considered an airside transit, where passengers remain within the airport without entering Hong Kong immigration control.

Key points to note:

Passengers must have a confirmed onward flight ticket to the final destination (in this case, the Philippines) within 24 hours.
Passengers cannot pass through Hong Kong immigration or leave the airport. If you need to collect checked luggage or change terminals outside the airside area, you may need a transit visa.
Always check with your airline before travel, as some carriers may have specific requirements or documentation checks for transit passengers.
Exceptions may exist depending on travel class, airline, or specific regulations, so it’s safest to confirm with Hong Kong Immigration or the airline.

In summary, for an airside transit under 24 hours without leaving the airport, a Hong Kong transit visa is typically not required for Liberian citizens.
