Not verified yet (not yet covered). We haven't verified the business rules for Hong Konger passport holders, and we don't publish rules we haven't checked against an official source. A rule that is awaiting verification or not yet covered is not a negative visa decision: it only means we haven't confirmed it on an official source yet. Until then, see gambiahcsenegal.com.

Not from an official Gambia government source: based on the World Visa Encyclopedia (dict.dyimin.com, an unofficial reference site), a single unofficial source. Not verified - conditions vary by airline and airport; confirm with your airline and the embassy before travel. The site says: “Direct Transit (Airside Stay) Entry Visa Exemption: Passengers do not need an entry visa for The Gambia if they remain within the international transit area (airside) without exiting it, and both flight connections and checked baggage transfers are fully completed. Therefore, passengers must confirm with their operating airlines before departure whether visa-free airside transit within the airport is possible.”
