HONG KONG HAS FURTHER EASED THE TRAVEL RULES
Greetings from the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (HKETO) in Singapore. We are pleased to inform you that Hong Kong has further eased the travel rules. The Amber Code for inbound travellers during the first three days of arrival has been lifted - they can now enter restaurants, gymnasium, beauty parlours etc without restrictions. The testing regime has also been greatly streamlined, as follows:
• Self-administered rapid antigen test (RAT) within 24 hours before departure to Hong Kong
• Free PCR test on arrival at Hong Kong airport on Day 0
• Free PCR test on Day 2, which can be booked online conveniently
• Daily self-administered RATs from Day 1 to 5
A Provisional Vaccine Pass lasting for 180 days is given to every visitor who is fully-vaccinated (generally means 2 doses) which enables them to enter a range of premises. Visitors travelling to the Mainland China/Macao via Hong Kong’s control points no longer have to wait for 3 days but can travel directly, provided they have a negative nucleic acid test result within 48 hours before departure from Hong Kong. Please check out the following pages for the details:
