Yes, Indian citizens do require a Pre-arrival Registration (PAR), more like an e-visa, before their intended travel date to enter Hong Kong. The PAR is a mandatory requirement that allows Indian travellers to visit Hong Kong, provided they meet the necessary conditions.
If you lose your Hong Kong PAR notification slip, you can easily download from Atlys app and reprint it. The slip must be reprinted on blank A4 white paper and carried with you during your travels.
Yes, the Hong Kong PAR can be used for transit purposes if you are passing through Hong Kong to another destination. However, the total duration of your stay, including transit time, should not exceed 14 days.
Yes, you can use the Hong Kong PAR for short-term business activities such as attending meetings, conferences, or seminars. However, the PAR does not permit you to take up long-term work or employment in Hong Kong.
The PAR is designed to facilitate short-term visits to Hong Kong, which includes attending business-related events. You can participate in business meetings, negotiate deals, and attend industry conferences without needing a separate visa.
However, suppose your business activities involve taking up employment, starting a business, or any form of long-term professional engagement. In that case, you will need to apply for a work visa or another appropriate type of visa that allows such activities.
The Hong Kong Immigration Department closely monitors activities conducted under PAR, so it’s important to stay within the permitted scope to avoid legal issues.
If you have any questions or need assistance with your Hong Kong PAR application, you can contact the Hong Kong Immigration Department or seek help from a reliable service provider like PostMyVisa.
The Hong Kong Immigration Department offers customer support for travellers who encounter issues or have questions about the PAR process. You can reach out to them via their official website or through their helpline numbers.
If you prefer personalised assistance, using a service provider like PostMyVisa can be beneficial. PostMyVisa offers comprehensive support throughout the application process, from filling out the form to troubleshooting any issues that may arise.

To apply for a Hong Kong PAR, Indian travellers must provide specific personal and travel-related information during the application process. This includes:
Name in English: As it appears on your passport.
Alias in English (if any): If you have any other names or aliases that are officially recognised.
Gender: Male or female, as recorded in your passport.
Marital status: Indicate whether you are single, married, etc.
Date of birth: Enter your date of birth in the format DD/MM/YYYY.
Place of birth: The city or town where you were born, as recorded in your passport.
Residential address: Your current home address.
Contact number: A valid phone number where you can be reached.
Indian passport number: Ensure that your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your intended date of departure from Hong Kong.
Date of issue and expiry of passport: The exact dates are listed in your passport.
Once your Hong Kong PAR application is approved, the approval status will be displayed on "My Dashboard" in the PostMyVisa app. You can then download the PAR notification slip on blank A4 white paper.
If your Hong Kong PAR application is unsuccessful, you will not be able to enter Hong Kong using the PAR system. Instead, you will need to apply for a traditional visa through the Hong Kong Immigration Department.
Reasons your PAR application is unsuccessful:
There could be several reasons why a PAR application is unsuccessful, including discrepancies in your personal information, issues with your passport validity, or other factors flagged by the immigration system.
If your PAR is unsuccessful, the system usually provides a reason, allowing you to address the issue. In some cases, reapplying with the correct information might resolve the problem.
No, you cannot apply for a new Hong Kong PAR if your current registration is still valid. You can only apply for a new registration once the current one has expired or is about to expire.
There is no formal process to cancel a Hong Kong PAR once it has been issued. However, if your travel plans change and you no longer need the PAR, it will simply expire after its six-month validity period.
No, you must enter Hong Kong with the same Indian passport that was used to apply for the PAR. If your passport details change after your PAR approval, such as due to passport renewal, you will need to reapply for PAR using your new passport details
No, the Hong Kong PAR is only valid for entry into Hong Kong. If you plan to visit Macau or Mainland China, you will need to apply for separate visas or travel permits for those regions. Each region has its own immigration policies and requirements.
Macau: Indian citizens typically do not require a visa for short stays in Macau, but you should check the latest regulations before travelling. However, if entering from Hong Kong, you must ensure you meet Macau’s entry requirements.
Mainland China: If you plan to enter Mainland China, you must apply for a Chinese visa, which you must obtain in advance from the Chinese Embassy or Consulate.
Overstaying in Hong Kong beyond the 14-day limit allowed by your PAR can have serious consequences. These may include fines, detention, deportation, and a potential ban from re-entering Hong Kong in the future.
Authorised by the government: Postmyvisa is authorised by the United Arab Emirates government to handle your visa application.
