Register your trip on-line with the U.S. Embassy in this country. Millions of Americans travel abroad every year and encounter no difficulties. However, U.S. embassies and consulates assist nearly 200,000 Americans each year who are victims of crime, accident, or illness, or whose family and friends need to contact them in an emergency. When an emergency happens, or if natural disaster, terrorism, or civil unrest strikes during your foreign travel, the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate can be your source of assistance and information. By registering your trip, you help the embassy or consulate locate you when you might need them the most. Registration is voluntary and costs nothing, but it should be a big part of your travel planning and security.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do US citizens need a visa to visit Hong Kong?
No. US citizens do not need a visa to visit Hong Kong for stays of up to 90 days. Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of China and has its own immigration rules separate from mainland China. A US visa or Hong Kong visa for mainland China does not automatically permit entry to the other — they are treated as completely separate destinations. Simply bring your valid US passport with at least 6 months validity. AA Passport & Visa helps with passport renewal before your Hong Kong trip. Call 972-231-1600.
Is a China visa the same as a Hong Kong visa?
No. This is one of the most common points of confusion for DFW travelers. Hong Kong and mainland China are separate immigration destinations. A valid Chinese visa does not grant automatic entry to Hong Kong and a Hong Kong visit does not require or use a Chinese visa. If you want to visit both Hong Kong and mainland China on the same trip you need to obtain a separate Chinese visa for the mainland portion. AA Passport & Visa helps Dallas residents with both Hong Kong travel planning and Chinese visa applications. Call 972-231-1600.
What documents do US citizens need to enter Hong Kong?
You need a valid US passport with at least 6 months validity beyond your intended stay in Hong Kong, a return or onward flight ticket out of Hong Kong, and proof of accommodation. Hong Kong immigration is thorough and efficient at its major international airport. No visa stamp or advance authorization is required for US citizens for stays under 90 days. AA Passport & Visa helps ensure your passport is current and valid before your departure from Dallas. Call 972-231-1600.
How has Hong Kong changed since 2020 and what should DFW travelers know?
Hong Kong has undergone significant political changes since the implementation of the National Security Law in 2020. The US State Department has a Level 2 Exercise Increased Caution advisory for Hong Kong and notes that the Chinese government may apply broad definitions of national security offenses to foreign nationals. Activities that are legal in the United States may be considered violations under Hong Kong’s current legal framework. AA Passport & Visa recommends reviewing the full current State Department advisory at travel.state.gov before planning any Hong Kong visit.
Are there direct flights from Dallas to Hong Kong?
Yes. Cathay Pacific and American Airlines operate service between Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and Hong Kong International Airport. Some routes are direct and some connect through Tokyo, Seoul, or other Asian hubs depending on the carrier and schedule. Flight time from DFW to Hong Kong is approximately 16 to 18 hours on direct routing. Make sure your passport has at least 6 months validity beyond your return date. AA Passport & Visa offers fast passport renewal for DFW residents. Call 972-231-1600.
