South African citizens don’t need a visa to visit Hong Kong. No further documentation is usually required for short-stay visits, tourists or on business. However, on entry to Hong Kong, the South Africa passport or national ID card must be kept. This policy on visa-free travel is very advantageous for South Africa citizens since it provides free movement between the two countries for any given purpose. This is particularly helpful for people who need to make last-minute travel arrangements, be it for business meets, family emergencies, or vacation. However, for stays over a long period or people looking for employment in Hong Kong, South Africa citizens must adhere to normal procedures relative to work permits and residence. Although a Hong Kong visa for South Africa citizens is not necessary to gain entry to the country, the VisitsVisa team can assist you with all your requirements relative to an extension and any other need that will be there when visiting this country.
