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 reprint it from the official PAR system using your registration details. 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 Atlys.

• 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 Atlys can be beneficial. Atlys offers comprehensive support throughout the application process, from filling out the form to troubleshooting any issues that may arise.
• Atlys also provides step-by-step guidance, helping you avoid common mistakes that could lead to delays or rejections. Their service is particularly useful for first-time travellers or those unfamiliar with the online application process.

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.

Yes, if you need to stay in Hong Kong beyond the 14-day limit granted by your PAR, you can apply for an extension of stay. This application can be made online or at the Immigration Office in Hong Kong, but it must be done before your current stay limit expires.
