Hong Kong Tourist Visa Requirement

Question

I am an Indonesian citizen, looking forward to have 8D7N trip to Hong Kong and possibly Macau. Do I need to apply for tourist visa beforehand? Or am I eligible for Visa on arrival at Hong Kong?

Answer

As an Indonesian citizen, you do not need to apply for a tourist visa in advance to visit Hong Kong for a short stay. Indonesia is among the countries whose nationals are eligible for visa-free entry to Hong Kong for tourism purposes.

Here are the key details:

Visa-free duration: Indonesian passport holders can stay in Hong Kong for up to 30 days without a visa.
Purpose of visit: This applies for tourism, business meetings, or short-term visits. Your stay must be for leisure, sightseeing, or family/friend visits.
Entry requirements: You must have a valid Indonesian passport (with at least one blank page and at least six months validity beyond your planned stay).
Proof of onward travel: While not always checked, it is recommended to have a return ticket or onward travel ticket and proof of sufficient funds for your stay.

Regarding Macau:

Visa-free entry for Indonesian passport holders: You can stay in Macau for up to 30 days without a visa.
Travel between Hong Kong and Macau: You can take the ferry or the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge shuttle. No visa is required to transit for short-term tourism.

Important tips:

Ensure your passport is in good condition with blank pages for immigration stamps.
Check your flight and hotel bookings to have proof of your travel plans if requested by immigration.
Always check for the latest entry rules, as policies may change depending on public health or government regulations.

In summary, you do not need to apply for a Hong Kong tourist visa beforehand; you are eligible for visa-free entry and can enjoy an 8-day, 7-night trip to both Hong Kong and Macau without a visa.
