Related introduction to visa exemption for Hong Kong SAR passports:

As a result of mutual visa exemption agreements (such as with Russia) and unilaterally granted Visa Waiver: Holders of Hong Kong SAR passports can be exempted from passport visas or travel to many countries and regions around the world through simplified passport procedures.

Although the passport exemption mostly only applies to Chinese citizens in Hong Kong for visits or short-term personal or business travel, there are still some countries that extend the visa exemption to short-term stays with paid compensation (such as Belgium and Luxembourg ).

When arriving in these visa exemption or visa reciprocity countries and regions, whether a passenger is allowed to enter and the period of stay is generally determined by the immigration authorities of the relevant countries or regions based on the individual circumstances at the time.
