Hong Kong travelers have more reasons to explore the Gulf in 2025! According to the latest announcement by the Hong Kong Immigration Department, holders of the HKSAR passport can now enjoy extended visa-free access to Qatar, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Oman—making travel across the Gulf smoother, quicker, and more appealing than ever.
🌍 Here’s What’s New:
-
Qatar & UAE
→ HKSAR passport holders can now enter visa-free for up to 30 days.
→ No pre-arranged visa or visa-on-arrival needed.
→ Applies to tourism, business, and family visits. -
Oman
→ The visa-free stay has been extended from 10 days to 14 days.
→ This update gives travelers more flexibility for leisure or exploration.
These changes officially take effect from May 15, 2025, and align with Hong Kong’s continued efforts to strengthen people-to-people ties with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations under the Belt and Road Initiative.
🧳 Why This Matters for Travelers

✅ Save time — No lengthy visa applications or embassy visits.
✅ Save money — Enjoy your travel budget without visa fees.
✅ Travel freely — Enjoy spontaneous travel within multiple GCC nations.
✅ Plan longer itineraries — With Oman now allowing 14 days, you have more time to explore at ease.
