The information you fill out must match your passport.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Passport Details Do Not Match<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check your name, date of birth, passport number, nationality, passport dates, residential details and place of issue before submitting. Even small differences in how a place name is entered can cause problems, so copy the information exactly as printed on your passport.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Example: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Passport says \u201cBengaluru\u201d \u2192 do not enter \u201cBangalore\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Applying With a Different Passport<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A PAR is linked to the Indian passport used for the registration. If you renew or replace that passport after receiving PAR, you must apply again using the new passport. The same applies if your personal details have changed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Your Planned Stay is More Than 14 Days<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PAR only covers visits or transit stays of up to 14 days per visit. If you plan to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dimaak.com\/blog\/places-to-stay-in-hong-kong\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">stay in Hong Kong<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for more than 14 days, apply for a visit visa.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Passport is Not Valid for at Least Six Months<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your Indian passport should have at least six months of validity remaining when you apply for PAR. Check the expiry date before starting the registration.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does Passport Issue City Affect Hong Kong PAR Approval?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some travellers report that applications that mention passports issued in cities such as Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Chandigarh have been rejected. Changing the place of issue to get a successful PAR can also result in rejection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hong Kong Immigration&#8217;s official guidance requires applicants to enter truthful information that matches the passport exactly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your PAR is unsuccessful, the official route is to apply directly to the Hong Kong Immigration Department for the appropriate entry visa.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to Do if Your Hong Kong PAR is Rejected?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your Hong Kong PAR is unsuccessful, apply for a Hong Kong Visit Visa directly through the Hong Kong Immigration Department.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:

Is Hong Kong visa-free for Indian citizens?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indian citizens can visit Hong Kong visa-free for eligible stays of up to 14 days, but they must complete the Pre-arrival Registration (PAR) before travelling. If you are rejected, then apply for a Hong Kong visit visa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. How long is Hong Kong PAR valid?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A PAR is valid for six months. During that period, you can make multiple visits, with each visit lasting 14 days.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. How long does Hong Kong PAR take?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The PAR system processes the registration automatically and provides the result instantly after submission.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Can you reapply for a Hong Kong Pre-Arrival Registration (PAR) after a rejection?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your first PAR application is rejected, it will still be considered a valid registration. So, you cannot apply for a new PAR until the existing PAR expires, which is six months from the first registration. Alternatively, you can apply for a Visit Visa, which takes 4 weeks to process.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Do you need PAR if you are transiting through Hong Kong?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You do not need PAR if you are in direct airside transit and do not leave the airport transit area. If you need to enter Hong Kong during transit, you must apply for PAR.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways Most Indian passport holders travelling to Hong Kong for a short visit must complete Hong Kong PAR before travelling.
