A little off topic.  I am thinking about going to Hong-Kong for next visa run.   Anybody have any experience?  Particularly and US passport holders?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion centers on the experience of US passport holders planning a visa run to Hong Kong. It mentions that US citizens do not require a visa in advance, as they can obtain a visa on arrival free of charge at the Hong Kong Airport by filling out forms during the flight. Additionally, another user notes a recent easy and quick visa renewal process in Hong Kong, hinting at a generally hassle-free experience for Western passport holders.

You get a visa on arrival stamp, free of charge in Hong Kong Airport. Everyone needs one. Just fill the forms out on the plane.
