"Caohai Hotel Reservation" Hong Kong passport can be exempted from visa, which shocked many countries.

Hong Kong has changed its chief executive. Maybe this news is nothing special to us, but one thing has entered our field of vision: Hong Kong passport. Yes, the passports used in the Mainland and Hong Kong are different, and they are still very different. Next, let's see how different they are! (It feels like a tongue twister, haha)

First, let's take a look at what a Hong Kong passport looks like.

There seems to be no big difference except color and traditional Chinese characters, but!

There is a big difference, because landing visa has 158 visa-free countries, but how many countries are there in the world? 95, that is to say, only 37 countries have to sign, and these 37 countries may not even be able to name their geography teachers.

However, despite the soaring gold content of Chinese mainland passports in recent years, the total number of visa-free passports in landing visa is still only 58.

Counting the development of mainland passports in recent years, we have jumped from only a dozen visa-free countries to more than 50, an increase of 300%. And in those years, we have never heard of any visa-free countries, such as Samoa, Dominica and Antigua. Maybe before you go to these countries, you should go to Baidu to find out where these countries are and then see how to go by plane. Maybe you only see this country after crossing the border for 4-5 times, but these transit countries tell you: Brother, you need a visa to cross the border here!

Now, our visa-free countries/landing visa countries are increasing, such as Mauritius, Seychelles, Bali and Thailand. They are not only familiar places, but also popular tourist destinations! Like Seychelles, the scenery is not as good as Malaysia, and the price is more expensive than cabbage!

In addition to the rapid increase in the number of visa-free countries, the validity period of visas on arrival has also been greatly extended. For example, in the United States and Canada, the validity period was directly increased from the previous year to 10 year, and in Britain, Australia and Israel, it was also extended to 10 year. Even New Zealand, which has always been reserved, has declared that it will be extended to five years after May this year! In other words, you only need to apply for a visa once to enjoy 10 years!

And all this is in front of the Hong Kong passport. Feeling a little self-motivated!

This picture shows landing visa countries with Hong Kong passports. Green means no visa. It seems that few countries are not green.

Like Canada, our validity period is longer, 10 only once a year, and others don't need to be hurt once!

Because: no visa.

When we go to Schengen countries (Germany, France, Italy, etc. ), we probably prepared a pile of materials, but in the end? We were rejected. And a Hong Kong passport means no pressure!

Because: no visa.

Going to Brazil, Argentina and other South American countries requires all kinds of complicated information, Latvia travel network, all kinds of vaccines and all kinds of notarization. Maybe we returned it when we didn't know what notarization is and what authentication is, and the Hong Kong passport shows that the air ticket hotel has been booked!

Because: no visa.

As for how to get a Hong Kong passport, it boils down to one sentence: stay in Hong Kong for seven years, whether it is studying, working or marrying a Hong Kong husband; Whether it is a talent introduction plan or an investment immigration, it usually takes seven years. It is uncertain whether you can get a 100% Hong Kong passport after seven years!

So, if you just want to get more visa-free countries and just travel, it's really unnecessary. Besides, even if you get a Hong Kong passport, you need a visa and an interview to travel to the United States! It makes no difference! And according to the growth rate of our visa-free countries, maybe one day our visa-free countries will surpass Hong Kong!
