VISA Application

The current immigration authority suggests that the situation in 2010 would not be much different from that before the "Hand Over". That means,
  1. you may not need a visa for the conference visit if you are from North America, Western Europe, or Japan;
  2. if you normally need a visa to enter Hong Kong, you should go through the Hong Kong section of the China Embassy/Consulate.

For details, please refer to Hong Kong Immigration Department Home Page.
