my mother is travelling to the usa via hong kong.

Question

My mother is travelling to the USA via Hong Kong. She holds a Sri Lankan passport and a multiple US Entry VISA. Her transit is for 14 hrs on the onward journey and 5 hrs on the return. Does she need a Transit VISA?

Ms.ELLIOTT · Answer

All nationals of Sri Lanka (except holders of Diplomatic and Official passports) are required to hold a valid visa for the HKSAR for whatever purpose (including those who are in transit and remain on the airside). Your mother needs a double-entry Hong Kong Transit Visa.
