Оформление загранпаспорта в Гонконге

❗️Уважаемые граждане, проверьте срок действия загранпаспорта у себя и своих близких. Если до истечения осталось меньше года, то пора оформлять новый. Особенно если планируете заграничные поездки.

В Генеральном консульстве можно оформить загранпаспорт:

🔹 старого поколения — сроком действия 5 лет;
🔹 нового поколения («биометрический») — сроком действия 10 лет (с электронным носителем информации).

❗️Граждане России могут иметь два действительных загранпаспорта. Второй паспорт может быть только биометрическим.

📝 Подача заявления на новый загранпаспорт

Заявление необходимо заполнить заранее на порталах Консульского департамента МИД России:

▪️ на 5 лет — passportzu.kdmid.ru
▪️ на 10 лет — zp.midpass.ru

❗️Заявления, оформленные через «Госуслуги», не принимаются.

Требования к остальным документам уточняйте на нашем сайте.

📅 Запись на приём

Приём осуществляется только по предварительной записи.
Для каждого заявления (включая детские) требуется отдельная запись.

Запись доступна на портале:
▪️ q.midpass.ru

Если срок действия загранпаспорта истек:

- можно подать заявление по действующему внутреннему паспорту;

- если внутренний паспорт также недействителен, необходимо предварительно пройти проверку наличия гражданства Российской Федерации (это бесплатно, но занимает время. При этом требуется отдельная запись на прием).

👶 Детям до 14 лет требуется свидетельство о рождении со штампом о наличии у ребенка гражданства России.

⏳ Сроки оформления

✔️ Паспорт сроком на 5 лет для детей до 14 лет — до 7 дней, а если повезет, то в день обращения.

✔️ Все остальные виды загранпаспортов — около 3 месяцев со дня подачи заявления.

📌 Обращаем Ваше внимание на то, что Генконсульство не оформляет внутренние паспорта.
Получить их можно только на территории России — в МВД России или МФЦ.

🇷🇺 On August 22, Russia marks National Flag Day, established by a Presidential Decree in 1994.

On this day, we pay tribute to one of Russia’s official state symbols, which, together with the national emblem and anthem, represents the country’s sovereignty and independence and reflects the continuity of generations of its multinational people.

Today, the Russian flag is also a visible symbol of protection and the future. In the special military operation zone, servicemen raise the tricolour over liberated settlements.

***

The history of the Russian tricolour spans more than three centuries. In 1693, the young Peter the Great raised it as his personal standard in Arkhangelsk, and in 1705 he ordered the white-blue-red flag to be flown on merchant ships. Until the 19th century, Russian sailors would erect a commemorative cross on the shores of newly acquired territories.

In 1806, a new tradition emerged. A Russian expedition explored the coast of southern Sakhalin and raised two flags on shore. The St Andrew’s Flag symbolised the role of the Russian Navy, while the white-blue-red flag marked the territory as a new Russian possession. The tricolour became the national flag in 1896, on the eve of the coronation of Nicholas II.

⚪️🔵🔴 On December 25, 2000, the Federal Constitutional Law “On the State Flag of the Russian Federation” was adopted. Under the law, the State Flag of Russia is a rectangular cloth consisting of three equal horizontal stripes: white on top, blue in the middle, and red on the bottom.

💬 President of Russia Vladimir Putin:
Russia is a thousand-year-old country and civilisation, and our national flag is a symbol of our unity.

I am confident that the national flag will always inspire us to move only forward — towards victory — and to uphold the glory of Russia.

The August issue of Bauhinia magazine features an article by Anatoly Kargapolov, Consul General of Russia in Hong Kong.

🌺 The article emphasizes the steady development of Russia-Hong Kong cooperation against the backdrop of a deepening strategic partnership between Russia and China. In 2025, trade turnover between Russia and Hong Kong reached USD 4.3 billion, with the use of national currencies in transactions contributing to the stability and predictability of economic ties.

🌺 Special emphasis is placed on expanding humanitarian and cultural exchange: this autumn, the Hong Kong Palace Museum will host an exhibition of masterpieces of Russian iconography and decorative arts from the Tretyakov State Gallery collection. This, along with the frequent participation of Russian artists and cultural figures in the city’s vibrant life, helps to foster greater mutual understanding and friendship.

🌺 The introduction of a visa-free regime has given a strong boost to tourism - over the first four months of 2026, Hong Kong welcomed more than 90,000 Russian visitors, a 56% increase compared to the same period last year.

🌺 Hong Kong continues to serve as a vital bridge between Russia and Asia. Its favorable business environment provides a platform for new investment, educational, and innovation projects.

🌺 In conclusion, Mr. Kargapolov expressed confidence in the further strengthening of Russia-Hong Kong relations, built on mutual respect, trust, reciprocal benefit, and a shared aspiration for prosperity.
