COVID-19 UPDATE: GOVERNMENT ADJUSTS VACCINATION RECORD REQUIREMENTS FOR PERSONS ARRIVING AT HONG KONG

Please be informed that the requirement on vaccination records for inbound travellers who have stayed in Medium-Risk Group B specified places (including Vietnam) under Hong Kong’s latest boarding, quarantine and testing requirements effective on August 20 has been slightly adjusted.

Travellers who have stayed in Vietnam on the day of boarding for/arrival in Hong Kong or during the 14 days before that day holding vaccination records that are issued by the relevant authorities or relevant institutions where the vaccines were administered will be regarded as fulfilling the boarding and compulsory quarantine period-related vaccination record requirements.

In summary, with effect from August 20, only Hong Kong residents and fully vaccinated non-Hong Kong residents from Vietnam are allowed to board flights for Hong Kong. As for the Compulsory Quarantine at a Designated Quarantine Hotel arrangement, non-fully vaccinated Hong Kong residents will undergo 21 days of quarantine while fully vaccinated Hong Kong and non-Hong Kong residents will be subject to a 14-day quarantine period.
