As Hong Kong is very dependent and focused on its travel industry, visa requirements are less stringent. Even with the handover of Hong Kong back to China, just as before, Hong Kong does not require a pre-requisite for Visas for visiting. This is largely because of its independent immigration laws as compared to China. Although belonging to the same administration, Hong Kong’s immigration requirements are less strict as compared to its motherland. This however poses another problem for visitors who would like to visit China. When in Hong Kong, visiting China would require a separate Visa.

 While one has apply for a visitor’s visa when going over to China, the tourist who comes from China is exempted from it. Therefore it is always advisable to travel to places like Shenzhen before going into Hong Kong. That way, it is way more convenient as Visa for China is applied and approved prior to getting into the country.
