Hong Kong Tourist Visa for Nepali Citizens 2026: New Rules

Hong Kong remains a popular destination for Nepali travelers due to its modern skyline, shopping districts, cultural attractions, and convenient transit connectivity. In 2026, Nepali passport holders who wish to travel to Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for tourism, leisure, short visits, or transit must apply for entry permission/visitor visa in advance using Hong Kong’s online application system. This guide explains the latest rules, eligibility, online process, and document requirements for Nepali citizens in a clear and practical way.

The Hong Kong online service allows applicants to submit applications for entry for visit or transit only. This service does not apply to extension of stay applications for visitors already in Hong Kong. If an extension is required later, it must be applied for separately through the appropriate channel.

To be eligible to apply for entry to Hong Kong as a visitor or transit passenger, applicants must meet Hong Kong Immigration’s criteria for visit purposes. Nepali travelers should confirm their eligibility before applying, as approval depends on factors such as travel purpose, financial standing, and travel history.

Online Application: Who Can Use This Service

Nepali citizens can use the online service to apply for entry to Hong Kong for leisure visits, transit, business visits, family visits, or other approved visit purposes. Both the applicant and sponsor (if applicable) must complete and sign the online application form to confirm that all information provided is correct, complete, and true. For applicants under 16 years of age, the application must be signed by a parent or legal guardian.

Documents to Be Submitted Online (Applicant)

Applicants must upload scanned copies of required documents. Documents marked mandatory must be included:

• Valid travel document (passport) showing personal particulars, date of issue, date of expiry, and any re-entry visa details if applicable

• Recent photograph of the applicant

• Proof of financial standing, such as bank statements, savings account passbooks, tax receipts, and proof of employment if any (company leave letter, salary slips, etc.)

• Proof of transportation arrangement, such as a flight itinerary

• Proof of the proposed leisure visit (for tourism), such as package tour receipts or a detailed itinerary

• Proof of the proposed visit to the next destination (for transit), such as onward itinerary

• Proof of proposed business visit (for business), such as employer letters, invitation letters from Hong Kong companies, or trade fair confirmations

• Proof of relationship with the local sponsor (for family visits)

• Other supporting documents, if applicable

Documents to Be Submitted Online (Sponsor)

If a sponsor is involved, additional documents are required:

• Company chop (if the sponsor is a company)

• Business Registration Certificate (if the sponsor is a company)

• Hong Kong identity card and/or travel document showing personal particulars and latest condition/limit of stay (for individual sponsors who are non-permanent residents), and/or latest e-Visa if applicable

• Other supporting documents, as required

File Format & Upload Rules

All documents must be scanned and uploaded in accepted formats. Supported file types include JPEG, PDF, GIF, PNG, or TIF (RAW, LZW, JPEG, CCITT-G4). Each file must be 5 MB or below. Documents without photos should be uploaded in grayscale, while documents containing photos must be uploaded in color. Applicants can upload multiple files per document category as allowed by the system.

How to Start the Application

Once all supplementary documents are prepared and scanned correctly, applicants can access Hong Kong’s official online application service and complete the form. Care must be taken to ensure that all uploaded documents are clear, legible, and consistent with the information entered in the application.

Important Notes for Nepali Travelers

Approval of an online application does not guarantee entry; final admission is determined by immigration officers at the port of entry. Applicants must travel strictly according to the purpose approved in the application. Overstaying or engaging in activities not permitted under a visitor visa can result in penalties or future entry restrictions.
