Hi, I couldn't find the Immigration section of the forum, so I'm posting this here for now. To the site Admin: please move it to the Immigration section. Sorry for the trouble.

I have a US Passport and a HK work visa. I'll be taking a short trip out of the country this week. Do I need another stamp or another document to enter and leave HK, or does the work visa allow me to travel in and out of HK? (just wanted to make sure before I actually go to the airport and try to leave)

I tried calling Immigration but they must be busy this afternoon; couldn't get thru to an actual human.
Thanks,
L

You shouldn't have a problem. On your arrival back in HK the immigration officer will stamp again your passport with the same "Allowed to stay till" date..

Thanks, Kostas.

I just found this too on the Immigration Website. I guess it applies to people like me.

"Re-entry into Hong Kong

Non-permanent residents of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, irrespective of their nationality and type of travel document held, do not require a re-entry visa to enter Hong Kong provided that they return within their valid limit of stay and that the circumstances upon which they have acquired their residential status remain unchanged. Non-permanent residents, if returning after a long absence of, say, 12 months or more, may be required to approach the Immigration Department Headquarters to have their residential status verified."
