|

Hi! I heard that I dont need a visa for entry into Hong Kong. Just booked a layover there on my way back from Thailand.
Do I need a visa to enter Hong Kong and check it out for a couple of days? Im an American citizen.
I heard its great so Im totally looking forward to it.
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! |

In HongKong you get a 90 day visa waiver stamp on arrival.
If you want take the jetfoil to Macau (1 hour ride - US$15 each way) you will get a 30 day visa waiver stamp on arrival there. Re-entry to HK is no problem. New entry = new 90 day stamp, even if you had one yesterday
You CANNOT cross the frontier into mainland China without a Chinese entry visa. |

This board is great...
