Hong Kong Visa for Nepali Citizens 2025: Complete Tourist & Transit Guide

Hong Kong Visa for Nepali Citizens 2025: Complete Tourist & Transit Guide

The Hong Kong e-Visa system, implemented by the Immigration Department (ImmD) since December 28, 2021, has brought a significant shift in the visa issuance process. Previously, applicants for visas, permits, and extensions were issued physical sticker labels. However, with the introduction of the e-Visa system, applicants now receive a digital version of their visa in PDF format, which can be easily downloaded and printed at their convenience. This digital shift eliminates the need for applicants to visit the Immigration Office in person for payment and collection, making the process faster and more convenient.

Benefits of the e-Visa System

The most significant advantage of the e-Visa is the convenience it offers. Applicants can complete the entire visa application process online, from submission to payment. Once the application is approved, the e-Visa can be instantly downloaded or printed, which means no waiting in queues. Moreover, online payment options are available, including credit card payments, mobile wallet services like Alipay and WeChat Pay, and other payment platforms such as Payment by Phone Service (PPS) and Faster Payment System (FPS).

Validity of Previous Sticker-type Visas

If you have a sticker-type visa issued before the implementation of the e-Visa system, there's no need to replace it with an e-Visa, as these stickers remain valid until their expiration date. The e-Visa applies only to new applications or status updates after December 28, 2021.

Verification and Inspection

For verification purposes, the e-Visa contains an encrypted QR code. This allows authorized personnel, such as employers or immigration officers, to verify the validity of the visa. This can be done either by scanning the QR code or by importing the e-Visa file into the ImmD Mobile App or GovHK website.

Payment and Downloading the e-Visa

After paying the relevant visa fee, applicants can download the e-Visa through the GovHK website or the ImmD Mobile Application. If you miss downloading it immediately after payment, you can still do so at any time for free.

How to Handle Lost e-Visas

In case of losing or misplacing your e-Visa, you don’t need to re-apply. You can simply re-download or re-print it free of charge through the ImmD website or app.

Immigration Clearance in Hong Kong

Upon arrival, travelers must present their valid travel documents along with their e-Visa. At immigration counters, they will scan the QR code for clearance. If you are traveling onward, you can also use the e-Visa for verification in other countries.

Technical Assistance

If you encounter technical issues during the application or payment process, the ImmD provides support through a dedicated hotline, ensuring users have assistance when needed.

Cash Circulation Surges by Rs. 27.46 Billion During Festive Season — Slower Growth Compared to Last Year

Cash Circulation Surges by Rs. 27.46 Billion During Festive Season — Slower Growth Compared to Last Year Nepal’s festive season has once again fueled a surge in cash demand, with the amount of currency in circulation (CIC) rising by Rs. 27.46 billion compared to the same period last year, according to the latest financial position report for Ashwin (mid-October) published by the Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB). As of the end of Ashwin 2082 BS, the total cash in circulation stood at Rs. 788.78 billion, up from Rs. 761.31 billion during Ashwin 2081 BS. This increase reflects a typical seasonal spike in liquidity as households withdraw money for festival-related expenses such as consumer goods, travel, gifts, and household purchases during Dashain and Tihar.

Nepal’s Public Debt Rises by Rs 50.6 Billion in First Quarter, External Liabilities Dominate

Nepal’s Public Debt Rises by Rs 50.6 Billion in First Quarter, External Liabilities Dominate Nepal’s public debt has increased by Rs 50.6 billion in just the first three months of the ongoing fiscal year 2082/83. According to the Public Debt Management Office, total outstanding public debt stood at Rs 27.24 trillion by the end of Ashoj, up from Rs 26.74 trillion at the beginning of the fiscal year in Shrawan. The rise in debt indicates the government’s growing dependence on borrowing to meet its fiscal needs amid weak revenue performance. The report shows that Nepal’s total public debt now amounts to 44.61 percent of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Out of this, 20.93 percent of GDP is domestic debt, while 23.69 percent represents external borrowing. Economists have warned that while the figure is still below the critical 50 percent debt-to-GDP threshold, the trend points to a gradual build-up of fiscal stress, especially given Nepal’s sluggish growth and limited revenue mobilization capacity.
