In a surprise move, Hong Kong has withdrawn the no travel visa policy for Indians from January next year.
Now, Indian tourists will have to pre-register to enter the SAR (Special Administrative Regions) of China. So far, for a 15-day stay, there were no formalities as the SAR allowed to land in Hong Kong without any visa formalities.
It was learned that the step may have been taken as the no visa facility may have been abused by some.
Hong Kong tiene una representación turística activa en la India para promover el turismo en el destino popular, que también actúa como un trampolín para viajar a Macao. En otro desarrollo, Tailandia ha hecho que los viajes de los indios sean un poco más baratos al reducir la tarifa de la visa al aterrizar.
It is to be seen in days to come if these two developments will lessen travel by Indians to Hong Kong and to Thailand.
