Uzbekistan visa-free access extended

The visa-free period for Hong Kong Special Administrative Region passport holders to the Republic of Uzbekistan has been extended from seven to 10 days with immediate effect.   Additionally, Hong Kong SAR passport holders may visit that country visa-free for a stay of up to 10 days upon arrival with an air ticket to third countries or a return air ticket.   Noting that Uzbekistan is along the Belt & Road, the Immigration Department said the visa-free arrangement will bring greater travel convenience to Hong Kong travellers after the epidemic and strengthen the tourism, cultural and economic ties between the two places.   As of today, 167 countries and territories have granted visa-free access or visa-on-arrival to Hong Kong SAR passport holders.   Click here for details.
