Mr.JOHNNASH · Answer

yes, your Sri Lanka friend need a Hong Kong transit visa. 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). Holders of Diplomatic and Official passport may visit the HKSAR visa-free for a stay not exceeding 14 days.
