I'm having a nightmare finding this out - does a british passport holder need a visa for a holiday in HK?

I went for 3 days after a trip to China, they stamp your passport and I think as a British citizen the stamp says you are allowed to stay for 180 days

Not if you're going for less than 180 days, according to this:

You need a visa for China but not got HK, we went last year and because our holiday included a trip to HK and them back into China on the way home we had to get a double entry visa which was a lot more expensive.

If you decide to do a trip into China from HK the tour companies can fix up the visa pretty quickly I understand, have a good trip it's a fabulous city.

you dont need one if you are a british passport holder and are in HK for less than 180 days

your passport must have more than 6 months remaining before expiry date

no visa is required i had to get a double entry visa for china in 2005 and it was only about £40 from the chinese embassy in london you do have to get there by 10 or 11 in the morning to be seen then you come and collect them a week later its if ya in hong kong and have enough time its worth going into china for a visit

Does anyone know recent visa requirements for a 1 week visit to Hong Kong?
