WDESIGN519 Points: Join Date: Aug 2, 2007 Status: offline	Hello, I am an American living and working in Germany, Im a fine art photographer.A friend is going to Hong Kong next month and asked if I would like to go with him. He is German, so his Visa requirements are different than mine. If we are just going to be in Hong Kong and not visiting mainland China do I need to get a Visa or and health documents besides my normal US Passport? I have heard conflicting statements about this and would really appreciate some feedback from someone who knows for sure what paperwork is necessary. Thanks in Advance, Will

I am not American but here goes:
U.S. citizens can enter Hong Kong for a period of up to three months without a visa, provided they have a passport that is valid for at least one month after the period of their intended stay in Hong Kong.

PS: I am also a travel photographer so for any other specific enquiries, feel free to buzz me.

Affirmative on all the others say here Will !!

No Visa for you, only your valid passport.

Should you wish to cross the border into the mainland, you will need a PRC travel visa for each entry.

I was there last week and had a great time. I crossed over from the mainland and then back again. There is no medical exam required. They will check your body temp (auto-scan) at the POE for any fever and that is the extent of it. Have fun !!
