What entry route applies to holders of an ordinary passport issued by Hong Kong?
Short answer
Permanent residents of Hong Kong SAR holding an ordinary passport issued by HKSAR may use the published visa-free route for up to 14 calendar days when they do not intend employment, study or residence in Russia. Other passport holders must use the route that applies to their citizenship.
Verified answer
The published visa-free route permits permanent residents of Hong Kong SAR who hold an ordinary passport issued by HKSAR to stay in Russia for up to 14 calendar days when they do not intend employment, study or residence in Russia. This condition is both residency- and passport-specific; a person in Hong Kong who holds another passport must follow the Russian entry route for that passport's citizenship.
The linked versioned published rule and official Evidence define both the 14-day maximum and the HKSAR permanent-resident passport scope. The answer must not collapse that condition into a generic Hong Kong passport label.
