There are some adjustments in high-risk countries in Hong Kong. Relatively speaking, some countries may change their policies if they want to enter Hong Kong. Hong Kong divides overseas regions into three categories, and different types will have different relative entry policies.

Low-risk entry conditions in Area C Both Hong Kong residents and tourists can enter from Area C.

72 hours nucleic acid detection;

Compulsory isolation 14 days, during which three nucleic acid tests were carried out;

After observing at home for 7 days, the fourth and fifth nucleic acid tests were conducted on 16 and 19 days.

If the entry conditions of the Mainland, Macau and Taiwan Province Province are from the Mainland or Macau, and the basic needs of the unvaccinated population are 14+0, the vaccinated population can be 7+7, and they can be isolated at home for the first seven days and take care of themselves for the next seven days. In addition, if you enter the country by land from Macao or Guangdong, you can choose to return to Hong Kong to avoid being isolated. You can refer to Hongkong and official website for details.

If it comes from Taiwan Province Province, it is a first-class basic and B-class risk area. Those who have not been vaccinated need 265,438+0+0, those who have been vaccinated need 65,438+04+7, and those who have been vaccinated and tested positive for serum antibodies in laboratories recognized by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government can be 7+7.

Frequently asked questions: Hong Kong recently listed the United States as a high-risk area, so can Americans still enter Hong Kong?

A: It only takes 14 days to go to the middle-risk area. For example, Canada and Mexico are currently considered as medium-risk areas.

Q: If mainland residents living overseas have been vaccinated, can they choose to enter the 7+7 quarantine in Hong Kong and then go back to the mainland to bypass the green code review?

A: No, to enter Hong Kong, you need to be qualified to stay in Hong Kong for such a long time. Take the shortest 7+7 as an example, it takes at least 14 days. Plus the follow-up nucleic acid test, you must be eligible to stay in Hong Kong for at least 30 days before you can choose 7+7 to enter Hong Kong. Ordinary mainland residents can only enter Hong Kong for seven days and cannot enjoy this policy. In other words, the policy of entering Hong Kong before the epidemic still needs to be met. You need to be eligible to enter Hong Kong for at least 30 days before you can get this benefit.

Q: Foreigners with three types of residence (family reunion, private affairs and work) cannot obtain the green code of the embassy or consulate at the place of departure. Can they bypass Hong Kong?

A: Yes. You can use three types of residence to enter China, but you can't get the green codes of some countries, you just need to bypass overseas embassies and consulates. Foreigners who can enter Hong Kong, such as Canadian nationals, can enter Hong Kong 180 days, so they can enter Hong Kong after vaccination (14+7 or 7+7), and then they can enter the mainland from Hong Kong with three types of residence.

Q: As a foreigner, I can't get a Chinese visa at the American embassy or consulate and then use this policy to go to Chinese mainland?

A: As you all know, there is an announcement in embassies and consulates of various countries that if you have been vaccinated with domestic vaccines, you can apply for a visa to China according to the standards before the epidemic, but you really can't be vaccinated with domestic vaccines in North America. So there is a strange logic. If you want to get a Chinese visa, you have to get the China vaccine; if you want to get the China vaccine, you have to go to China; if you want to go to China, you have to get a Chinese visa.

The open entry of Hong Kong has opened such a hole. If you have been vaccinated with American vaccines, you can enter Hong Kong smoothly, and quarantine after 14+7 or 7+7. You can choose to vaccinate domestic vaccines again in Hong Kong. According to the announcement of the Hong Kong office, if you are vaccinated with domestic vaccines, you can apply for an ordinary reunion visa or a work visa according to the standards before the epidemic. For details, please refer to this question and answer in the Hong Kong office. In short, this process is:

Overseas vaccination of American vaccines->; Go overseas to Hong Kong-> Hong Kong quarantine inspection > Hong Kong vaccination domestic vaccine-> Hong Kong; Hong kong to apply for a Chinese visa-> from hong kong to the mainland->; Inland isolation.

Q: What vaccines does Hong Kong accept?

A: Almost all vaccines on the market can be used. Whether Pfizer, Modena, Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca made in the United States, or Kexing and Sinopharm made in China, all meet the entry conditions of Hong Kong. See this list for details.

Q: I am a mainland resident. Can I go to Hong Kong after vaccination in the Mainland?

A: If you don't have a special visa to Hong Kong, then you are not eligible to enter Hong Kong. Ordinary tourist visas can only stay for seven days, which cannot meet the conditions of entry isolation in Hong Kong.

Q: I am an American. Can I go to Hong Kong after vaccination in the Mainland?

A: If you are an American, you can stay in Hong Kong for 180 days, so you can go to Hong Kong from the mainland. If it is not inoculated, it needs 14+0, and if it is inoculated, it needs 7+7.

To sum up, on August 9, the Hong Kong SAR Government opened the entry of vaccinated passengers in medium-risk areas. As long as non-Hong Kong residents have been vaccinated, they can enter the medium-risk areas, but they still need to be quarantined at 14+7 or 7+7. At present, mainland residents cannot take advantage of this policy because ordinary mainland residents cannot enter Hong Kong for such a long time. However, if you have three types of residence and can't get the green code, you can try to enter the mainland from Hong Kong as long as you can endure two long-term isolation; If you are a foreigner and can't get a visa to China, you can consider applying for a visa to China after vaccination in China, and the procedure will be greatly simplified.
