Hong Kong Visa for French citizens

If you are travelling on a French passport, Hong Kong is reachable with an online eVisa instead of an embassy appointment. French travellers can complete the whole Hong Kong application from home and receive the approval by email.

Can French citizens get a Hong Kong eVisa?

Hong Kong grants online eligibility to French citizens across 4 visa options such as Ordinary Evisa, Transit Evisa, Tourist Evisa. Hong Kong currently supports Double Entries, with a permitted stay of 30 days. Government fees range from US$150.00 to US$260.00, depending on the visa type. Standard processing is typically 3 working days. Faster handling can sometimes be arranged on request — around 1 working day has been possible — but it is not guaranteed.

Documents and tips for French travellers

French passports are issued for 10 years to adults; confirm the remaining validity meets the destination’s requirement beyond your departure. Charges are typically in US dollars, so French applicants should expect a EUR-to-USD conversion at checkout. The most common avoidable mistake for French citizens: assuming a French passport’s broad visa-free access applies everywhere — several destinations still require an eVisa.

• Use the exact spelling and accents handling from your French passport’s machine-readable zone.
• Check the eVisa requirement per destination, as it can differ from general Schengen-area travel habits.
• Apply a few days early to leave room for any document clarification.
