Hong Kong withdraws no travel visa policy for Indians

[GTranslate]

In a surprise move, Hong Kong has withdrawn the no travel visa policy for Indians from January next year.

Now, Indian tourists will have to pre-register to enter the SAR (Special Administrative Regions) of China. So far, for a 15-day stay, there were no formalities as the SAR allowed to land in Hong Kong without any visa formalities.

It was learned that the step may have been taken as the no visa facility may have been abused by some.


Hongkong hat eine aktive Touristenvertretung in Indien, um den Tourismus in diesem beliebten Reiseziel zu fördern, das auch als Sprungbrett für Reisen nach Macau dient. In einer anderen Entwicklung hat Thailand das Reisen von Indern etwas billiger gemacht, indem die Visagebühr bei der Landung gesenkt wurde.

It is to be seen in days to come if these two developments will lessen travel by Indians to Hong Kong and to Thailand.
