Emergency numbers

999Police, ambulance, fire (English)

If a life is in danger, call the emergency number first.

Good to know here

Hong Kong speaks Cantonese, but English is also an official language, and most staff at hospitals, police stations and the airport understand English. For English cards, use the USA or UK pages.
Report loss or theft at the nearest police station and get a loss memo.

Before you go

Mobile data (eSIM)

If you get sick or lose something in Hong Kong, maps, translation and calling for help all need data. Install an eSIM before you fly and it works as soon as you land.

See Airalo eSIM plans

Airport transfers and transport

Taxis and directions are the hardest part when you can't speak the language in Hong Kong. Booking an airport pickup or transport pass in advance means less to explain on arrival.

Travel medical insurance

A hospital visit in Hong Kong can cost a lot without insurance. Travel insurance can cover treatment, and most insurers ask for the medical certificate, itemized receipt and police report these cards help you request.
