We have enhanced precautionary measures given the latest COVID-19 situation. Before your visit, please make yourself aware of the following measures:

1. Quarantine measures for inbound travellers

From 12 August 2022, non-Hong Kong residents and Hong Kong residents are allowed to enter Hong Kong from overseas. The relevant persons are required to comply with all inbound testing and quarantine requirements, including:

• being fully-vaccinated and holding a recognised vaccination record;
• undergoing a pre-departure nucleic acid test within 48 hours with a negative result (except for children under 3 years old);
• individuals who have been previously infected with COVID-19 may not be required to undergo a pre-departure nucleic acid test to board a flight for Hong Kong if they hold the documentary proof to show that they were infected with the virus 14–90 days prior to boarding a flight for Hong Kong and have recovered, and the result of the rapid antigen test (RAT) conducted within 24 hours prior to boarding was negative;
• booking a 3-night designated quarantine hotel stay;
• completing the Health & Quarantine Information Declaration in advance of boarding, and presenting the health declaration QR code generated after completion of the declaration at check-in for verification by the airlines concerned. The health declaration to be presented can be a downloadable version of the QR code, a screen shot or a printout. The health declaration QR code will be valid for 96 hours and inbound travellers can submit the declaration form as early as three days before their scheduled arrival time in Hong Kong;
• being subject to a ‘test-and-hold’ arrangement (comprising a PCR test and a rapid antigen test) at the airport upon arrival in Hong Kong;
• being transferred to a designated quarantine hotel by designated transport;
• quarantine under the ‘3+4’ model, including compulsory quarantine in a designated quarantine hotel for 3 nights, followed by medical surveillance for 4 nights. During medical surveillance, travellers are allowed to stay at home or in other self-arranged accommodation;
• during the quarantine arrangements, they are subject to Amber Code restrictions under the Vaccine Pass of the ‘LeaveHomeSafe’ mobile application and are not allowed to enter high-risk premises involving mask-off or group activities such as restaurants, bars, pubs, etc. In the morning of day 7, the ‘LeaveHomeSafe’ application will automatically revert the Amber Code to a Blue Code, i.e. the Vaccine Pass of ordinary persons. In addition, travellers are subject to self-monitoring in the subsequent 3 days;
• For confirmed cases, the Red Code restrictions are applied, and they are not allowed to leave the isolation location to avoid infecting others. Upon completion of their isolation, the ‘LeaveHomeSafe’ application will automatically revert the Red Code to a Blue Code.
• undergoing nucleic acid tests on the arrival day(day 0), 2^nd, 4^th, 6^th and 9^th days of arrival at Hong Kong; Also, daily rapid antigen tests(RATs) are required until day 10 of arrival at Hong Kong.
• travellers are required to install or update the ‘LeaveHomeSafe’ mobile application to version 3.4.0 or above, and to ensure that the relevant mobile device can be connected to the Internet. 

Inbound travellers from the Mainland and Macao (with an exemption for those fulfilling certain criteria), their compulsory quarantine period at home are correspondingly adjusted to three nights, followed by four nights of self-monitoring on the third day of arrival in Hong Kong. During the self-monitoring period, they are required to take their body temperature twice daily and undergo compulsory nucleic acid test as required, and Amber Code restrictions under the Vaccine Pass are not applicable.

Passengers transferring or transiting in Hong Kong are not required to present proof of a pre-departure nucleic acid test.
