From 24 December 2021 you must provide a valid negative COVID-19 (nucleic acid) test issued within 48 hours before your departure flight. Australia is now listed as a ‘high risk place’. If you’re travelling from Australia, you can’t enter Hong Kong unless you’re a fully vaccinated Hong Kong resident. Entry conditions apply (see ‘Travel’). You’ll be subject to 21 days of compulsory quarantine at a designated quarantine hotel on arrival, followed by 7 days of self-monitoring. You’ll also need to take several compulsory COVID-19 tests.

Dual citizenship is no longer recognised in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region following the application of the Nationality Law of the People’s Republic of China (see ‘Local laws’). As previously advised, Hong Kong’s National Security Law could be interpreted broadly and you could break the law without intending to. If you’re concerned about the new law, reconsider your need to remain in Hong Kong (see ‘Local laws’).
