Customer Reviews

Saroj Singh

I was travelling to Hong Kong and Macau alone. I heard about stories of luggage loss from some of my friends. I wanted to enjoy the holidays with a peace of mind instead of worrying about such incidents. On recommendation of one of my friends, I chose to opt for ICICI Lombard’s travel insurance plan. Although I didn’t make a claim, yet the policy helped me to enjoy the trip worry-free.

Nishita Chabria

I went to Hong Kong on a business trip with my colleagues. One of my colleagues fell to food poisoning and was hospitalised for a couple of days. Thankfully, we all had international travel insurance from ICICI Lombard, which took care of all the hospitalisation expenses. I would recommend it to everyone who is visiting a foreign country.

Hong Kong Travel Insurance

Travel insurance and safety advice for visitors to hong kong.

Hong Kong Travel Insurance Plans

Medical care standards are excellent but costly. Healthcare is divided into public and private. In the case of emergency care, you will be taken to a public hospital, where you must pay for emergency services. There are many English-speaking doctors throughout Hong Kong. Purchasing travel insurance when visiting Hong Kong is recommended before your arrival.

Travel Medical Insurance Plans for Visitors to Hong Kong

For visitors to Hong Kong, a quality travel insurance plan is a must. These plans will cover your medical expenses if you get sick or injured while traveling abroad.

• Emergency medical, evacuation, repatriation benefits
• Choose between the basic and more extensive coverage
• Meets Schengen visa insurance requirements
• 24/7 worldwide travel and emergency medical assistance

Patriot Platinum Travel Insurance

Over the winter months from December to March, Hong Kong is known to have an intense flu season. If you plan on traveling during the winter, a flu vaccine is recommended.

Safety Tips for Visiting Hong Kong

Drinking tap water is not recommended as its quality can vary immensely depending on the pipes of the building you are in. It is safer to stick to bottled water or boiling tap water for 3 minutes.

Mosquitoes are prevalent. Therefore, you should always wear insect repellant and put hydrocortisone cream on any bites you receive.

If you need emergency medical assistance during your trip, dial 999 and ask for an ambulance. You should contact your insurance/medical assistance company promptly if you are referred to a medical facility for treatment.

When to Travel to Hong Kong

The climate is a subtropical climate with humid and hot summers and cool, dry winters. The best months to travel are October, November, and December. June to August is the rainy season. September holds the greatest threat of typhoons.

Getting Around

The only way into the country is through the mainland of China. Transportation to and from China is easy to find, with buses and trains traveling back and forth several times each day and too many destinations.

The country has an extensive public transportation system, including buses that take you all over the island, trains, ferries, subways, and taxis. Taxis are a bargain and are easily found on the streets. The drivers are said to be quite honest, but if you feel that you have been overcharged, there is a complaint hotline you can call to report it.

Social Interactions

Because it is so densely populated, it is common to show respect to strangers by paying as little attention to them as possible as you pass them on the street. For tourists, this can be taken as unfriendliness when, in reality, it is helpful in making sure each person has as much personal space as needed. With the busyness of many people, necessary interactions are efficient and quick, not like the typical warm encounter you may be used to.

Cost of Visiting Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a costly destination. The biggest expense is accommodations, with nightlife coming in a close second. As mentioned earlier, taxis and transportation are incredibly cheap compared to other parts of the world. Another tip to know is that there is no sales tax. You will see a 3% government tax on hotel stays. ATMs are widely found and are linked to international banking systems.

Travel and Safety Advice for Visitors to Hong Kong

At International Citizens Insurance, we strive to ensure you have all the information you need to travel safely to the most sought-after destinations in the world. Hong Kong travel insurance  can go a long way in protecting your health while you’re abroad, but there are also a few things you should keep in mind while getting ready for your  trip to Hong Kong .

1) Air Quality

Air quality in Hong Kong is among the poorest in the industrialized world. Travelers who are prone to asthma or bronchial infection should take special precautions. Plan to minimize time spent outdoors. Daily air quality index updates are available through news media and smartphone apps, so stay indoors during the worst conditions. Use a mask to reduce pollution intake.

One important thing to remember about Hong Kong’s air quality is that it can drastically reduce visibility. During the worst pollution, smog significantly reduces the number of daylight hours. For that reason, plan to return to your hotel early if you are not comfortable navigating Hong Kong in the dark. The summer months tend to be the best regarding air quality.

Read:  Pollution, Air Quality, and Smog in China

2) Typhoon Season

Typhoon season can be unpredictable throughout much of Asia. Luckily, Hong Kong’s advanced early warning system reports typhoons on all TV channels and in many major buildings. Typhoons are ranked between T1 and T10, with T3 typhoons considered serious enough to avoid coastal areas and take shelter. During a rare T8 typhoon, most workers will be excused.

If a typhoon of at least strength T3 is reported, return to your hotel to take shelter. Hotel staff can direct you to other shelters if needed, but this is very rare. Typhoon seasons run from May through September, but most storms skirt Hong Kong and create minimal disruption. A T10 typhoon occurred in 2012, but before that, the last T10 was all the way back in 1999.

3) Pickpockets & Scams

As with any major destination, con artists are always at work to relieve tourists of their money. Pickpockets, in particular, focus on visitors from abroad, not locals. Use a safe at your hotel to avoid carrying valuables into crowded city streets or public transportation. When carrying a wallet, keep your IDs separate, so you do not lose them in the event of theft.

There are more than 18,000 taxis in Hong Kong, most driven by independent owner-operators. As in other cities, you should be alert to unlicensed taxis. Insist that your taxi driver uses the meter to determine your fare. A semicircular, green emblem on the front grill and rear of a vehicle indicates a licensed taxi, with the number of available seats displayed.

4) Vaccinations

According to the Centers for Disease Control, travelers should strongly consider hepatitis A and typhoid vaccinations before traveling to Hong Kong. Hepatitis is frequently passed to visitors through contaminated food, especially street food, as well as contaminated water. Typhoid is particularly important if you will be traveling anywhere outside of central Hong Kong.

5) Medical Care

The healthcare system in China is one of the most advanced in Asia. However, care can be costly. In an emergency, you will be transported to a government-run hospital, typically charging a flat fee of over $500 (USD) for services. Other costs may also apply. Emergency care is guaranteed, so you will be billed later if you cannot pay immediately.

By contacting your local consulate or the private hospital of your choice, you can find a variety of doctors, dentists, and others who speak English. Private care is less expensive than a public hospital for visitors to Hong Kong; however, appropriate  travel insurance can help you significantly reduce what could be very hefty bills for specialized treatment.

For visitors to Hong Kong, a quality travel insurance plan is a must. The recommended plans below will cover your medical expenses if you get sick or injured while traveling abroad.

Enjoy Your Visit to Hong Kong

Despite the precautions, Hong Kong is a very rewarding place to visit for business or pleasure. I hope you will find your trip goes even more smoothly with these details in mind.

Travel Guide To Hong Kong

• TATA AIG Team
• Published on :

Hong Kong is everything you'd expect and nothing you'd anticipate. It's a small, skyscraper-packed city that juts up against green open space filled with walking trails, surfing beaches, and exotic flora and is saturated with beauty and energy. It's a wonderfully refreshing contrast, especially after the everyday frantic lives we lead.

While getting around Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula is as simple as stepping on a ferry, make sure to explore at least one (if not more) of the city's lesser-known islands (there are 261 islands in total). Although Lantau Island is the largest and most accessible, Lamma, Cheung Chau, has a quieter, less touristic vibe. Thus, Hong Kong travel destinations promise plenty of fun and excitement.

While travelling to Hong Kong may be just the vacation you need, allowing you a change of scenery and pace, you must secure your trip with travel insurance Hong Kong. Travelling insurance ensures you are protected from mishaps when you are away from home.

Hong Kong Recommendations for Travellers

If you are going to travel to Hong Kong from India, here are some top Hong Kong recommendations of places to visit.

• Victoria Peak

Victoria Peak, located in the western half of Hong Kong Island, is a charming tiny peak recognised for its beauty. Mount Austin is another name for it, and it stands at almost 552 metres above sea level.

All you see are skyscrapers and lush green pathways that make up this highland wherever you look from here. Make sure to visit this location because your trip will be unfinished if you do not. The best time to visit Hong Kong is in the Spring, and that is also the best time to visit Victoria Peaks. Thus, your travel to Hong Kong from India will be a great experience.

Tian Tan Buddha Statue, which stands 34 metres tall and is situated close to the Po Lin Monastery, is a huge statue of Buddha Shakyamuni. It is among Hong Kong's most tranquil spots, symbolising man's harmonious interaction with nature. To get to this huge bronze monument composed of 202 pieces, you'll have to walk up 268 stairs. Nevertheless, the Big Buddha is usually among the top ten places to visit in Hong Kong.

Another to make it to the top ten places in Hong Kong to visit is the Star Ferry. It is a popular tourist destination and has a passenger ferry service. Using this, you can explore Victoria Harbour, Kowloon, and Hong Kong Island. It transports around 70,000 passengers every day and has numerous railway and road bridges. This is also one of the top ten most thrilling ferry services across the globe. So if you're visiting the area, take advantage of the ferry service, which will transport you to the most popular sights for a very low price. You will love to travel by this if you are in Hong Kong in Spring which is the best time to visit Hong Kong.

• Symphony of Lights

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, this is the only venue with a permanent light and sound show. As a result, the lights become much more vibrant at night, making the scenery even more alluring. This light and sound performance feature a total of 42 structures. It enhances the spectacular views of Hong Kong Island, Tsim Sha Tsui, and the quarter's other important attractions. Thus, this is one of the top ten places in Hong Kong that you must visit.

• Tai Mo Shan Waterfalls

This is the spot to go if you love nature and want to visit some of Hong Kong's most refreshing tourist attractions. This waterfall is tucked away amid lush woodlands and gives stunning views of the surrounding terrain. To get to the site, you'll have to pass through temples and towns, which will give you a unique perspective on the region's culture and customs. It is a place that will leave you wanting to get annual travel insurance to Hong Kong and visit every year.

Top Indian Restaurants in Hong Kong

The thing about Indians is that even if we get annual travel insurance in Hong Kong and take a trip to Hong Kong annually, we will still look for Indian food. Also, people from all over the world are fond of Indian cuisine, so Hong Kong has many restaurants offering Indian food. Some of the best Indian food restaurants in Hong Kong are:

• Jashan Restaurant
• Bombay Dreams Restaurant
• Sangeetha Vegetarian Restaurant

All these restaurants offer top of the line Indian food that will leave you wanting for me and coming back for seconds.

• Your original passport must be valid for up to six months from the day you enter Hong Kong
• The confirmation of your hotel bookings
• Your confirmed tickets with the E-ticket serial number
• A travel itinerary not exceeding fourteen days

How to Choose Your Travel Insurance for Hong Kong

Note : If you are only interested on getting a free quotation for a travel insurance, then we recommend World Nomads (click here to get your free quotation) .

Health Insurance in Hong Kong – Index

Why do i need health insurance when traveling to hong kong, the healthcare system in hong kong, hospitals in hong kong, what insurance do we recommend, what to do if you need medical attention.

Travelers are not required to have a health or travel assistance insurance when going to Hong Kong. That’s the standard in most Asian countries, including China , Vietnam and Thailand .

With that said, I would never visit Hong Kong without proper insurance. Sure, Hong Kong has some of the best healthcare systems in the world, but it’s also one of the most expensive, only second after the US.

So if you think that medical fees are high in the US, then remember that Hong Kong follows just shortly behind.

We’ve read about horror stories about how travelers suddenly get ill in Hong Kong , for example from appendix infections, and have to pay thousands of dollars for medical treatment.

According to the Hong Kong Hospital Authority’s website, intensive care ward can cost you as much as 24,400 Hong Kong dollars per day, which equals to around USD 3,100. Then imagine if you have to stay there for several days or a week.

Even if Hong Kong is developed with low crime rates and good medical care, it’s also one of the most crowded places in the world, having hectic traffic and narrow streets. Walking in Hong Kong can be a bit of a challenge and they paint “Look to the right / left” at pedestrian crossings for a reason.

In 2019, we also saw major disruptions due to massive protests among locals, something that resulted in foreign insurance companies cutting travel assistance cover. Thus, it’s important that you confirm with your travel insurance company what you’re covered for beforehand.

As mentioned, Hong Kong offers some of the best healthcare systems in the world. This is a reason why it has exceptionally high life expectancy rates , 81.87 years for men and 87.65 years for women.

However, Hong Kong also faces many challenges as the demand for health services increases. Some of the main reasons are staff shortages, its aging population, and an underdeveloped healthcare system in the primary sector.

Not to forget, the public healthcare system is mainly to cater to its residents and travelers are not eligible for government-subsidized medical care. It’s only available to permanent residents (PRs), citizens, and persons who reside in Hong Kong with a valid work visa , for example.

If you fall into the category of being a non-eligible person, the fees to visit public and private hospitals are very similar.

Looking at the number of hospitals available, in 2019 there were 43 public hospitals, 49 specialist out-patient clinics and 73 general out-patient clinics in Hong Kong. Many are located in Kowloon district.

There were also 12 private hospitals available according to Hong Kong’s Department of Health.

In Hong Kong, like in many other Asian regions and countries, there are two main types of hospitals:

Public hospitals

When compared to countries like Thailand, there’s a smaller difference between public and private hospitals. Truth be told, both options should be adequate to the medical services we can expect in places like the UK, the US, and Australia.

It’s often said that private hospitals are a luxury-option for those who want superior medical care.

However, many Hongkongers suffer from increased prices and abnormally high price-to-income ratios, which has left locals with public medical care as their only option. In 2016, less than 40% of local residents had health insurance policies and the public healthcare system was almost at a breaking point .

It’s well-known that waiting times are extremely long and foreigners face problems with communication issues. In some hospitals, you need to wait for months just to get a CT scan.

We’ve also explained about the lack of privacy in hospitals in mainland China , which can be found in Hong Kong as well. Some hospitals can have 10 people per room, at the same time as you’re assisted by students, these are referred to as “teaching hospitals”.

With the increased demand for public hospital treatments and growing problems with underfinancing of the public health sector, you shouldn’t neglect private hospitals as an option.

If you want to see a list of public hospitals available, you can check this page .

Private international hospitals

On the contrary to the public healthcare system, private hospitals aren’t financed by taxes, but by paying clients. As such, private hospitals have a greater incentive to provide good customer service, short wait times, and a high quality of care.

The rooms are more comfortable and you’ll also be able to communicate in English, which is not always the case in public hospitals.

It’s predicted that medical fees will increase in Hong Kong over the years, mainly due to a higher demand. We’ll also see more technically advanced facilities and advancement in new cutting edge technologies.

This will inevitably increase costs and entice more foreigners to buy travel insurance before visiting Hong Kong, especially if you visit private international hospitals.

If you go to Hong Kong for traveling short-term, we recommend World Nomads , mainly thanks to its flexibility (customers can simply fill in the duration of the itinerary and the destinations) and the international coverage (you’ll not only be covered in Hong Kong but in other countries).

Another benefit is that you can purchase insurance after you departed for Hong Kong (which many other insurance companies don’t allow). You can also buy insurance if you’re not a resident in your home country, again, not frequently covered by insurance companies.

With that said, we don’t recommend World Nomads for expats (without health coverage). The reason is that they normally send you back to your home country, where you’re covered from the national health coverage.

The prices might be a bit higher when opting-in for World Nomads (around 66 euros instead of 55 euros). But, thanks to its flexibility and preferably policies, many clients are more than happy to choose a bit more expensive option. At the end of the day, the difference is only 10 euros.

What should a good health insurance policy cover?

A good insurance should cover emergency transportation, medication, repatriation, and medical costs (including hospitalization, tests, surgery, and visits).

Preferably, you should be covered for civil liability, which means that you don’t have to cover costs if you cause material or personal damage. Yet be sure to read the fine print as you might not be covered if you’re intoxicated of alcohol, for example. The insurance company will review the circumstances surrounding the accident.

Insurance companies also offer add-on features where you can be covered for injuries that occurred when you participated in extreme sports, for example. Confirm with your insurance company how they define “extreme sports” (can be bungee jumping, go-karting, driving jet skis, etc.).

On top of that, you sometimes have the option to get covered in case your flight gets canceled or if there are other interruptions, like if you lose a luggage or experience delays. Even if Hong Kong is considered safe, you should also consider to choose coverage in the event of loss or theft of your personal belongings.

When you look for insurance online, be sure to read the policies and what coverage you’ll get, taking your medical history into consideration, if you’ll get covered while you’re intoxicated of alcohol, and more. Don’t hesitate to contact the support team to further clarify what option is best for you.

[Disclaimer: We don’t work for an insurance company. The advice in his article is purely based on personal experience. You are advised to talk to an insurance agent of the company you choose so that you know the best way to act in the event of need].

Before you depart, you should prepare a copy of your passport being kept in your wallet or pocket and a personal insurance card provided by the company. If a card cannot be provided, you should at least write down the emergency number and your policy number. You should also include a text saying “ICE Health Insurance”, where ICE stands for “In Case of Emergency”.

If you’re involved in an accident and become unconscious or unable to communicate, it’s important that the paramedics can assure that you’re covered by insurance. Normally they will check your pockets and wallet for any information that proves you have insurance, and to confirm your identity.

When they’ve found the contact details to your insurance provider and your policy number, they will contact the company to inform about the accident and make sure that you get medical treatment. In a worst-case scenario, the hospital might refuse to treat you, if they can’t assure that they will get reimbursed for the costs.

If you’re able to call your insurance company in the event of an incident or sickness, be sure to call the number provided, which should be written on your insurance card (if they provide one). The reason is that insurance companies have agreements with selected hospitals and they will inform which hospital you should go to. If you go to a hospital that your insurance doesn’t collaborate with, you’ll face risks that the insurance company won’t reimburse you.

If you need help from the police, the fire services department, or an ambulance in Hong Kong, the emergency number is 999. The Hong Kong Fire service’s objective is to have an ambulance at the scene of an emergency within 12 minutes of receiving the information, 24/7. The success rate is more than 93%, which proves that the services are efficient.

With that said, you can also call international hospitals to provide medical assistance on the spot. If your conditions are not severe, you can also take a taxi to a hospital confirmed by the insurance company.

FAQ About Travel Insurance to Hong Kong

Travel insurance typically covers trip cancellation, trip interruption, lost or stolen luggage, travel delay, and emergency evacuation. Some travel insurance packages also cover medical-related incidents too. However, remember that the exact coverage depends on the insurance policy.

No, you'll not be required to take out travel insurance for Hong Kong. However, we strongly encourage you to do so anyway, because the cost of healthcare in Hong Kong can be high, and taking out travel insurance will mitigate some or all of the risk of covering those costs yourself if you need medical attention during your stay.

Yes, medical travel insurance is almost always worth it, and we recommend taking out travel insurance whenever visiting a foreign country. Taking out travel insurance will mitigate some or all of the risk of covering those costs yourself in case you need medical attention during your stay. In general, we recommend VisitorsCoverage to travellers worldwide because it offers excellent value for money and well-rounded travel and medical benefits in its large catalogue of plans.

Health insurance doesn't cover normal holiday expenses, such as coverage for missed flights and hotels, but in case you run into medical trouble while abroad, it may cover some or all of your doctor or hospital expenses while overseas. However, not all health insurance providers and plans offer coverage to customers while abroad, and that's why it's generally best to take out travel insurance whenever you travel.

Although there's overlap, health and travel insurance are not exactly the same. Health insurance covers some or all of the cost of medical expenses (e.g. emergency treatment, doctor's visits, etc.) while travel insurance covers non-medical costs that are commonly associated with travelling (e.g. coverage for missed flights, stolen or lost personal belongings, etc.).

The cost of travel insurance depends on several factors, such as the length of the trip, the destination, the age of the traveller, and the level of coverage desired. On average, travel insurance can cost anywhere between 3% and 10% of the total cost of the trip.

A single-trip travel insurance policy covers a specific trip, while an annual one covers multiple trips taken within a one-year period. An annual policy may be more cost-effective for frequent travellers.

Yes, you can sometimes purchase travel insurance after starting your trip, but it is best to buy it before the trip begins to ensure maximum coverage. If you do need to buy insurance after you've started your trip, we recommend VisitorsCoverage , which offers a wide catalogue of online trip and medical insurance policies, most of which can be booked with immediate effect. Check out our guide to buying travel insurance late to learn more.

Yes, you can most certainly purchase travel insurance for a trip that has already been booked, although we recommend purchasing insurance as soon as possible aftwerwards to ensure all coverage is in place before your journey begins.
