Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) and the Slovak
Republic signed an agreement on exemption of visa requirements here
on Saturday.
"The agreement gives visa-free access for a period up to 14 days to
HKSAR passport holders visiting the Slovak Republic", a HKSAR
government spokesman said.
Nationals of the Slovak Republic will likewise enjoy 14 days'
visa-free access to Hong Kong.
"We welcome the agreement, which enhances the travel convenience of
HKSAR passport holders and helps promote trade, business and
tourism links between Hong Kong and the Slovak Republic", the
spokesman said.
There are now 72 countries/territories granting visa-free access to
HKSAR passport holders.
