Tongan Protected Person passport

Tongan Protected Person passports were sold by the King of Tonga to persons who are not a Tongan citizen. Tongan Protected Person passport holders cannot enter or settle in Tonga on this passport. Generally, those holders are refugees, stateless persons, and individuals who for political reasons do not have access to any other passport-issuing authority. Some countries/regions, e.g., Hong Kong, do not recognize the Tongan Protected Person passport as a legitimate travel document, and refuse entry to the holder attempting to enter on this passport.GEN 1.3 ENTRY, TRANSIT AND DEPARTURE OF PASSENGERS AND CREW
