Essential notes when traveling to Hong Kong on your own

Hong Kong is one of the attractive destinations in Asia, famous for its unique blend of Asian and European culture, bustling shopping centers and beautiful natural landscapes. However, to have a smooth and enjoyable independent trip, visitors need to prepare some important factors below.

Necessary documents when traveling to Hong Kong on your own

When traveling to Hong Kong, the first important thing is to carefully check the necessary documents before the trip. Currently, Vietnamese citizens need a visa when traveling to Hong Kong, so you need to plan to apply for a visa at least 1 month before the trip. To apply for a visa, you need to prepare a passport valid for at least 6 months, a Hong Kong tourist visa application and other documents such as a travel itinerary, round-trip air tickets and hotel reservation confirmation. In addition, printing out a copy of all important documents and storing the soft copy on your phone or email is also necessary to ensure no trouble during the trip.

Hong Kong Travel SIM

When coming to Hong Kong, using the internet is an indispensable part of looking up maps, communicating and updating social networks. There are two popular options for connecting to the internet: renting a wifi device or buying a tourist SIM card. However, Hong Kong tourist SIM cards are often chosen by many tourists because of their convenience and affordable price. You can buy a SIM card at Hong Kong airport or pre-order it from Vietnam through online services. SIM cards often provide large data capacity at a reasonable price, allowing you to comfortably use the internet throughout your trip without worrying about expensive roaming fees.

Food costs also depend on where you choose, from cheap eateries with prices of 100,000 - 200,000 VND per meal, to luxury restaurants with higher prices. Tickets to visit famous places such as Disneyland or Ngong Ping should also be planned in advance.
