Where the governments disagree on Hong Kong

Poland alone rates Hong Kong at level 1. Every other government places it higher, all at level 2. Where one government is markedly more relaxed than the rest, the safer planning assumption is the majority view rather than the most reassuring one.

These assessments are not equally current. Japan's dates from August 2021 — roughly 5.1 years old — so it describes conditions that may have changed several times over since.

Your own government's rating is the one your insurer and embassy will act on, so read that source first — the one level of daylight between the strictest and most relaxed assessments here is context, not a substitute for it.

Derived from 10 government assessments for Hong Kong, most recently reviewed in September 2026.
