Change in visa-free period for nationals of Pakistan holding diplomatic or official passports
Circular Ref: A(23)03
Issue Date: 04 Jan 2023
The Immigration Department would like to, through us, advise Association members that the visa-free period for nationals of Pakistan holding diplomatic or official passports was relaxed with effect from 23 December 2022.
Previously, the above nationals could visit Hong Kong visa-free for a stay up to 14 days. Under the new arrangement, they may visit Hong Kong visa-free for a stay of up to 30 days. (For the avoidance of doubt, please note that other visa requirements for nationals of Pakistan remain unchanged.)
Should members have any queries, please consult the contact officers in the Immigration Department: Ms H Y Tam at 2829 4152, or Mr Kenneth Tong at 2829 3183.
Thank you for your attention.
