Effective April 1, 2004, Hong Kong citizens holding Hong Kong SAR passports may visit Japan for up to 90 days without a visa.
The Hong Kong Chief Secretary for Administration, Mr Donald Tsang, made the announcement after meetings in Tokyo with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yoriko Kawaguchi; Minister of Justice, Daizo Nozawa; and Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Nobuteru Ishihara.
“This is a landmark arrangement that will produce significant benefits for both Japan and Hong Kong by strengthening our economic and cultural links,” said Mr Tsang. “It also demonstrates the Japanese Government’s confidence in Hong Kong’s immigration controls under ‘One Country, Two Systems’.”
Last year, about 480,000 Hong Kong residents visited Japan, making Hong Kong one of the top 5 sources of visitors to the country.
