Welcome to the travel information page for the upcoming APAIE 2026 in Hong Kong. We are excited to host you and want to ensure your journey is as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Below, you will find essential information to help you plan your trip.
Most international travellers do not require a visa for short stays in Hong Kong. However, it is strongly recommended to check with your local embassy or the Hong Kong Immigration Department’s website to confirm your specific visa requirements. You can find more information about Visit Visa / Entry Permit Requirements on the website of the Immigration department of Hong Kong SAR. You may refer to Item 12 of Part II to find more information on the visa requirements for different countries / territories.
Important Notice for Indian Nationals Traveling to Hong Kong
The Immigration Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region has announced that Pre-arrival Registration (PAR) for Indian nationals is mandatory. The online Pre-arrival Registration system is now open and available for use.
If you require a visa in time for APAIE 2026, please be advised to start your visa application as soon as possible.
The Conference Organisers are not visa specialists and can only provide general information that is not specific to individual countries or individual travel needs. We can assist you with a visa letter once you have paid for your conference registration
In general, all visitors to Hong Kong must have a passport that is valid at least one month after the period of their intended stay in Hong Kong.
The local currency is the Hong Kong Dollar (HKD). Credit cards are accepted, and ATMs are available throughout the city. One tip: Cash is still king, so ensure you have dollars in your wallet for taxi rides.
An Octopus Card, a rechargeable smart card, can be used for public transport, shopping and dining. This can be purchased at the Hong Kong International Airport or downloaded as an app on your phone. See more details about the Octopus Card here.
Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) is the one of the busiest and most efficient airports in the world. Upon arrival, you can easily access the city via the Airport Express train which takes approximately 24 minutes to reach Central Hong Kong. Taxis and buses are also available.
APAIE extends a heartfelt welcome to all Muslim visitors. To ensure a comfortable and respectful experience for our Muslim exhibitors and buyers, the Hong Kong Tourism Board offers a dedicated Muslim Travel page with helpful resources.
Across Hong Kong, a wide selection of restaurants serve Halal-certified food, with certification issued by the Incorporated Trustees of the Islamic Community Fund of Hong Kong. Available cuisines include Indian, Pakistani, Middle Eastern, Western, and Chinese.
