I’m an Indian national intending to visiting HK for 7 days as a tourist. The HK immigration department has a pre-arrival registration for Indian nationals visiting HK to stay visa-free for not more than 14 days in HK. However a local travel agency told me that I would need a Chinese visa as well. Can anyone please confirm if this is indeed true? I don’t intend on visiting China during this travel.
