⚠️ Travel advice
fiber_manual_record High degree of caution
More protests are planned in the coming days, some of which are not authorised. There is an ongoing risk of violent confrontation. Protests may cause traffic disruptions, including to and from the international airport. Consider arriving at the airport well ahead of usual check-in times and be aware of extra security arrangements. Be alert, and avoid protests and demonstrations. If there are signs of disorder, move away quickly to a safe place. Monitor media and follow the advice of local authorities. The situation is very uncertain (see Safety and security). We have not changed our advice level: we continue to advise Australians to 'exercise a high degree of caution' in Hong Kong.
