Slovenian passport holders can visit Hong Kong visa-free for up to 90 days. This policy has been in place for years and remains unchanged in 2026. No visa application or pre-approval is needed — just show up with your passport and a return ticket.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid only for the period you plan to stay in Hong Kong. Airlines sometimes enforce the 6-month rule, but Hong Kong immigration does not require it for Slovenian passport holders. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Hong Kong | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket at the border. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel confirmation or a letter of invitation from your host. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it avoids delays if they do. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Have access to enough cash or credit to cover your expenses. Hong Kong doesn't enforce a fixed minimum, but showing a bank statement or credit card helps if questioned. | Recommended |
Overstaying is costly
If you stay beyond 90 days, you'll be fined up to HKD 50 per day and may be banned from re-entering Hong Kong for up to 5 years. Set a reminder to leave on time.
Keep your landing slip
The small white slip you get on arrival is your proof of legal entry. Keep it with your passport at all times — you'll need it when you depart.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Hong Kong International Airport
Follow signs to 'Arrivals' and then 'Immigration'. There are separate queues for Hong Kong residents and visitors. Join the 'Visitors' queue — it's clearly marked. Electronic gates (e-Channel) are for residents only, so you'll go to a manned counter.
2
Present your passport and boarding pass
Hand over your passport and boarding pass. The officer will check your passport validity, look for a blank page, and may ask about your stay — how long, where you're staying, and your return plans. Answer clearly and briefly.
3
Receive entry stamp and landing slip
The officer stamps your passport with the entry date and the date you must leave (90 days later). You'll also get a small white landing slip — keep it with your passport. You'll need it when you leave.
4
Collect luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, go to the baggage claim carousels. Then walk through the green channel if you have nothing to declare, or the red channel if you have goods over the duty-free limit. That's it — you're in Hong Kong.

Frequently asked questions
No. The 90-day visa-free period is not extendable for Slovenian passport holders. If you overstay, you'll be fined up to HKD 50 per day and may be banned from re-entry for up to 5 years. If you need to stay longer, you must apply for a visa before you travel.
No. If you're connecting to another international flight and staying airside (not passing immigration), you don't need any visa. If you want to leave the airport during a layover, you can enter visa-free for up to 90 days.
You'll be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by Hong Kong immigration. Renew your passport before you travel. The 6 months are counted from your entry date, not your departure date.
No. Hong Kong abolished paper arrival/departure cards in 2023. You just present your passport at the immigration counter.
No. The visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, or short visits only. Any work (paid or unpaid) or study requires a proper visa or work permit. Violating this can get you deported and banned.
Report it immediately to the Hong Kong Police (any station) and get a police report. Then contact the Slovenian Embassy in Beijing or the Consulate in Hong Kong for an emergency travel document. You'll need the police report and a passport photo.
No, it's not required by law. But Hong Kong healthcare is expensive — a simple hospital visit can cost thousands of HKD. Strongly recommended to have coverage for medical emergencies and trip disruption.
