Atousa, you need to apply for a transit entry permit for 2-hour transit in HK.

Atousa · Answer

Alan, but I have received this response from Immigration Department of Hong Kong:visas are always required for the nationals of Iran if they intend to come to the HKSAR for whatever purposes (except in direct transit by air and when the person does not leave the airport transit area)Your answer is confusing me.
