Current Travel Situation
Myanmar to Hong Kong: What You Need to Know
Hong Kong, as a Special Administrative Region of China, has its own immigration system separate from mainland China. Myanmar passport holders require a visa to enter Hong Kong, issued by the Hong Kong Immigration Department. The visa costs approximately $30 USD and permits stays of up to 14 days.
Hong Kong's separate immigration system means that a visa for mainland China does not automatically grant entry to Hong Kong, and vice versa. Following the political changes in Hong Kong since 2019-2020, the visa system for most nationalities remains in operation. Myanmar nationals can apply online or through a licensed travel agent.
Processing times for a Hong Kong visitor visa are typically 4 to 6 weeks for a postal application, or faster through a premium service.
Practical Tips
Hong Kong is a popular transit and business hub. If you are just transiting through Hong Kong International Airport without leaving the transit area, check whether you need a transit visa as requirements differ from entry visas. For visits to Hong Kong, apply well in advance as postal processing takes 4-6 weeks.
