Digital nomad guide to Hong Kong

Best for: Short stays — the costs and political situation push it out of base territory.

Hong Kong has slipped down most nomad lists since 2020 — the political shifts and the cost stack have made it hard to justify as a base. Visa-free 90 days remains generous, and the Top Talent Pass Scheme (TTPS) launched in 2022 is one of the easier high-skill paths in Asia. Best treated as a transit city, not a base, unless you have a specific HK-anchored business reason.
