    If you are a UK citizen you will get a visa on arrival.

  • Thank you.
  • Always best to get info from official channels...no Visas needed for HK just an entry permit you fill in on the plane. You will need a visa if you plan to travel to mainland China:

    ENTRY REQUIREMENTS


    Although Hong Kong is now part of the People's Republic of China, it remains a Special Administrative Region with its own immigration controls. You can stay in Hong Kong for up to six months without a visa.

    Single parents or other adults travelling alone with children should be aware that some places require documentary evidence of parental responsibility before allowing lone parents to enter, or in some cases, before permitting the children to leave. For further information on exactly what will be required at immigration please contact the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in London at: http://www.hketolondon.gov.hk before travelling.
