What you can settle without going to the consulate
- apply for a Hong Kong entry visa through the e-Visa service of the Hong Kong Immigration Department
- check the validity, entries and duration on a visa you already hold before assuming you need a new one
- book nothing: since October 2023 the five offices take walk-ins and there is no appointment to make
The paperwork is done from home. The journey is for the document, not for the file.
