The Immigration Department announced today nationals of Georgia who are holders of valid diplomatic, official and ordinary passports may visit Hong Kong visa-free for a stay of up to 30 days starting from September 30.

Noting that Georgia is along the Belt & Road, the department said the visa-free arrangement will provide travel convenience for visitors from Georgia and strengthen the tourism, cultural and economic ties between the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Georgia.

Currently, Hong Kong SAR passport holders may also visit Georgia visa-free for a stay of up to 30 days.
