  • Hong Kong immigration officers can ask about the purpose and funding of your trip even without a visa, so be ready to explain your itinerary
  • If you plan to also visit mainland China during the same trip, note that mainland China requires a separate visa not covered by Hong Kong's visa-free policy
  • Register with the nearest Algerian consular representation covering Hong Kong if staying for business purposes requiring local support
