Hong Kong Passport Visa-Free Countries: Where Can Hong Kong Passport Holders Travel?

90 days (3 months) is the most common allowance — it applies in 71 countries, including Albania, Andorra, Argentina, Austria, Bahamas, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Brazil, Bulgaria and 61 more.

Q: What is the difference between visa-free entry, visa on arrival and an eTA?

Visa-free means you only show your passport at the border. Visa on arrival is issued at the airport or land border, usually for a fee. An eTA (electronic travel authorisation, e.g. ESTA for the USA or ETA for the United Kingdom) is a short online application you must complete before departure. For Hong Kong passport holders: 114 visa-free, 31 visa on arrival, 8 eTA and 20 eVisa destinations.

Hong Kong passport holders can visit 114 countries without a visa, 6 of them with no time limit. That ranks the Hong Kong passport #39 of 199.
