Tunisian passport holders can visit Hong Kong for tourism or business stays up to 30 days without a visa. This policy applies in 2026 for direct arrivals at Hong Kong International Airport. Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your date of entry.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Hong Kong. No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required by Hong Kong immigration, but your airline may enforce a 6-month rule — check with them before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Hong Kong | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket at the border. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready. Without one, you risk being denied entry. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | You may be asked where you're staying. A hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and contact number is enough. Keep a copy on your phone or printed. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Hong Kong doesn't set a fixed minimum, but have access to enough cash or credit for your stay. A bank statement or credit card with a reasonable limit works. Immigration rarely checks this for short visits, but it's good backup. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Hong Kong, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, renew before you go.
No visa extensions available
The 30-day visa-free stay cannot be extended. Plan your trip to leave within that window. Overstaying can lead to fines and a ban.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Hong Kong International Airport
Follow signs to 'Arrivals' and then to 'Immigration'. There are separate queues for Hong Kong residents and visitors. Join the 'Visitors' queue.
2
Present your passport and boarding pass
Hand over your passport and boarding pass to the immigration officer. They may ask for your return ticket and accommodation details — have them ready on your phone or printed.
3
Get your entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with a 30-day visa-free entry. Check the stamp says '30 days' before you walk away. If it's less, ask for clarification.
4
Collect luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, collect your checked bags from the carousel, then walk through the green 'Nothing to Declare' channel if you have no restricted items. You're now in Hong Kong.
