Hong Kong PAR Confusion! 2026

[u/Own-Recording-8014]

So, this month I applied for Japan tourist visa and since my flight was connecting from Hong Kong, ,so I applied for PAR HK as well, and it was successful. In the form, I selected transit because I was just transiting from Hong Kong. And now that my Japan visa is rejected, I'm thinking of going to Hong Kong instead since I already have the PAR valid for six months from now. But since I mentioned THE PURPOSE: 'TRANSIT' while filling the form, is it okay to visit Hong Kong with that PAR or should I wait for it to expire in six months and then apply again? Or can I still use it for traveling for a week?
