Hong Kong does not recognize dual nationality; UK citizens advised

Hong Kong (SAR of China) travel advice

AI Overview

The UK FCDO updated its travel advice for Hong Kong, emphasizing that Hong Kong does not recognize dual nationality and does not recognize the BN(O) passport as a valid travel document or proof of identity. If you hold both British and Chinese nationality, you may be treated solely as a Chinese citizen even if you enter on a British citizen passport, and the British Consulate-General may not be able to offer consular assistance. If you have formally renounced Chinese citizenship, carry evidence. Additionally, be aware of regulations on e-cigarettes and illegal drugs including CBD.
