The government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) on Thursday announced the cancellation of visa-free visit arrangement for holders of U.S. diplomatic passports with immediate effect.
The measure is in line with China's central government's countermeasures against the U.S., the HKSAR government said in a statement.
"After the measure takes effect, holders of U.S. diplomatic passports will be required to obtain a visa before visiting Hong Kong, unless they are in direct transit and remain on the airside. They should submit their visa applications to the Chinese diplomatic and consular mission," said a spokesperson for the HKSAR government.
