Overview

Free online pre-arrival registration for Taiwan residents enabling up to two 30-day visits to Hong Kong per registration.

The Pre-arrival Registration for Taiwan Residents is a streamlined online system allowing qualifying Taiwan residents to visit Hong Kong without a separate entry permit. Designed for those born in Taiwan or previously admitted as Taiwan residents, who do not hold foreign travel documents except the Mainland Travel Permit for Taiwan Residents, it offers quick access for tourism and business.

Registration is entirely free with instant results via GovHK. Stays are limited to 30 days per entry, with registration valid for two months allowing two separate entries. The process is straightforward: complete the online form, print the notification slip, sign it, and present it at immigration. Renewal is available for repeat visitors.

This visa is ideal for Taiwan residents seeking spontaneous visits to Hong Kong for tourism or business without delays of formal visa applications.
