Starting August 10, the entry requirements for inbound travelers arriving from the United States have been simplified.

Before boarding the flight, they are required to present a negative COVID-19 nucleic acid test report, with their names identical to their respective travel documents, and administered within 72 hours of the flight's scheduled time of departure. They are also required to present documentary proof to show that the laboratory or healthcare institution is recognized/ approved/ ISO15189 accredited. Record of recognized laboratories in the US can be printed from the CMS’s database.

The travelers are also required to show confirmation that they have booked a hotel for 14-day quarantine upon arrival.  Currently, only Hong Kong residents* are permitted to enter the city.  The relevant specifications will remain effective until further notice.

*Spouses and children of Hong Kong residents who are not themselves Hong Kong residents may enter Hong Kong, but they need to prepare and produce proof to immigration officers at the airport (e.g. copies of birth certificates, marriage certificates and ID cards of spouse or parents, etc.).
