Before you fly
Hong Kong and Macau
Free pre-arrival registration (HK) + visa-free entry (Macau)
Free pre-arrival registration (HK) + visa-free entry (Macau)
Hong Kong SAR: Indian passport holders must complete Hong Kong's free online Pre-Arrival Registration (PAR) before travelling in order to enter visa-free. Each registration allows stays of up to 14 days per visit and is valid for multiple visits over 6 months. Longer stays require a separate visa from the Immigration Department. Macau SAR: India is commonly listed among the nationalities exempt from a visa for short tourist visits to Macau, for up to 30 days, provided the passport is valid for at least 6 months from arrival. The official Macao Government Tourism Office page confirms a general visa-exemption policy but does not itself name India explicitly.
- Hong Kong SAR: Complete the free Pre-Arrival Registration online before booking or boarding — travellers cannot fly to Hong Kong without an approved PAR
- Hong Kong SAR: Registration is valid 6 months for multiple visits, but each stay is capped at 14 days
- Macau SAR: Carry a passport valid at least 6 months beyond arrival with a blank page for entry stamps
- Macau SAR: Carry proof of onward/return travel; funds proof (often cited around MOP 5,000) may be requested at immigration
Hong Kong's requirement (free PAR, 14 days) is directly confirmed on the official immd.gov.hk page. Macau's visa-exempt status for India specifically was not directly named on the official Macao Government Tourism Office page in this session (it only describes the exemption mechanism); it is corroborated by multiple consistent secondary sources. Reconfirm Macau's exemption list on the Macao Immigration Services (DSI) site before publishing.
