🇭🇰China (SAR) Visa

Hong Kong, China's special administrative region, waves Turkish travellers through without a visa — you can stay up to 90 days on an ordinary passport. The mainland is a different story, though: crossing into China proper means a separate visa. For a Hong Kong-only trip, a valid passport is all you need in hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a visa to visit Hong Kong?

No. Turkish ordinary passport holders enter Hong Kong visa-free and can stay up to 90 days. The same applies to special, service and diplomatic passport holders — all visa-free, all 90 days.

What should I have ready for visa-free entry?

Border officers typically look for a return or onward ticket, proof of where you'll stay, and enough funds to cover your trip. Make sure your passport has comfortable validity left, too. If Hong Kong is only a transit stop for you, different rules may apply — check the current conditions on the official entry page before you book.

Hong Kong is visa-free — can I cross into mainland China as well?

No, they run on separate systems. Visa-free entry to Hong Kong gives you no right to enter mainland China; for cities like Beijing or Shanghai you'll need a Chinese visa of your own. If you're planning to use Hong Kong as a springboard to the mainland, sort the visa out in advance.
