Passport validity is strictly enforced
Hong Kong immigration will deny entry if your passport has less than 6 months of validity left from your date of arrival. Check your passport's expiry date now — if it's close, renew before booking flights.
Keep your departure card safe
When you arrive, you'll receive a small departure card stapled into your passport. Don't lose it — you'll need to hand it back to immigration when you leave Hong Kong. If you lose it, you'll have to fill out a replacement form at the airport, which can be a hassle.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Hong Kong International Airport
After landing, follow signs to 'Arrivals' and then 'Immigration'. There are separate queues for Hong Kong residents and visitors. Join the 'Visitors' queue. Have your passport and boarding pass ready.
2
Present your passport at the counter
Hand over your passport to the immigration officer. They'll scan it, check your face against the photo, and may ask a few questions like 'How long are you staying?' or 'Where are you staying?'. Answer clearly and briefly.
3
Receive your entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with the date of entry and the permitted stay duration (usually 90 days). Check the stamp before walking away — make sure the dates are correct.
4
Collect luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, head to the baggage carousel for your flight. Then go through customs — green channel if you have nothing to declare, red channel if you have goods over the duty-free limit.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free stay is not extendable. You must leave Hong Kong before the 90 days are up. If you need to stay longer, you'd have to apply for a visa before traveling — but for most Brunei passport holders, 90 days is plenty.
No. If you're connecting to another flight and staying airside (not passing immigration), you don't need any visa. If you want to leave the airport during a layover, the 90-day visa-free entry applies.
You'll likely be denied entry. The 6-month validity rule is strictly enforced. Renew your passport before traveling. If you can't, contact the Hong Kong Immigration Department directly to ask about exceptions — but don't count on it.
No. Visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, and short visits only. If you plan to work, study, or volunteer, you need the appropriate visa or permit before you arrive.
Yes, if you're arriving by air. You'll be given a small white arrival card on the plane or at the immigration hall. Fill it out with your passport details, flight number, and accommodation address. Keep the departure portion safe — you'll hand it in when you leave.
Overstaying is a serious offense in Hong Kong. You may be fined, detained, and banned from re-entering for a period. If you realize you're close to the limit, leave before it expires — even a day over can cause problems.
As of 2026, there are no COVID-19 testing or vaccination requirements for entry into Hong Kong. Standard health declarations (if any) are handled on the arrival card. No quarantine is needed.
