As a result of both bilateral visa abolition agreements (e.g. between Hong Kong and Russia ) and unilateral decisions to grant visa exemptions (e.g. by Montenegro), Hong Kong Special Administrative Region passport holders enjoy visa exemptions and simplified visa procedures to a large number of destinations worldwide. The official figure provided by the Immigration Department of Hong Kong is 143 as at 3 November 2010, which excludes countries and territories not officially recognised by the People's Republic of China, e.g. Kosovo and Taiwan). Whilst the visa exemptions mostly only apply when Chinese citizens of Hong Kong are visiting on short trips for pleasure or on business, a number of countries extend the visa exemption to short stays involving paid activities (e.g. Belgium).
