Travel to Hong Kong (Indian citizen) with passport having less than 6 months validity
One of my Indian friends has to travel to Hong Kong from India urgently. His passport has less than 6 months validity and he does not have enough time to renew his passport (he has to fly tonight).
Indians only need a permit to visit Hong Kong, which has to be applied online and that's exactly the problem for my friend: he can't apply for it as the system throws an error because the passport has less than 6 months validity.
Is there any solution for this problem?
