Hong Kong

COVID-19 remains a risk in Hong Kong. You can't enter Hong Kong unless you're a resident, with few exceptions. Flights to and from the United Kingdom have been suspended and travellers who have stayed for more than two hours in the UK in the past 14 days, including Hong Kong residents, will be barred from arriving in Hong Kong until further notice. If you have visited any country outside of mainland China, Macau and Taiwan in the 14 days before arrival in Hong Kong, you'll need to complete 14 days compulsory hotel quarantine at your expense. You'll need to provide evidence of a valid room reservation before being allowed to board your flight. Your hotel reservation must be with a 'Government Designated Hotel from Quarantine'. Travellers currently in quarantine who arrived from the UK will have to undergo a further seven days of mandatory home quarantine after 14 days mandatory hotel quarantine. You'll also be required to wear a wristband that monitors your location. If you're arriving from a designated high risk country or high risk area within mainland China, you'll also have to complete hotel quarantine and will need to provide a valid negative COVID-19 (nucleic acid) test issued within 72 hours before your scheduled departure.

As previously advised, Hong Kong's National Security Law could be interpreted broadly. You could break the law without intending to. If you’re concerned about the new law, reconsider your need to remain in Hong Kong. See 'Local laws' section.

We advise:

Do not travel to Hong Kong.
