Ever since the visa policies have been relaxed, the procedure to apply Hong Kong visa for Indians has turned out to be very simple and trouble-free. Indians need to apply and complete a PAR that is Pre-arrival Registration before entering Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong Pre-arrival Registration (PAR) was implemented on January 23, 2017. Electronic Travel Authorization is required for Indian citizens to visit the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR).
It successfully replaces the previous Hong Kong Visa on Arrival and saves the applicant’s time at the border through an online Pre-Registration. Indians can use this PAR for leisure, business, family visits, or transit.
PAR is valid for six months. It is a Multiple Entry visa. You can stay in Hong Kong for up to 14 days in each entry.
