Passengers from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan who do not have mainland mobile phone numbers can purchase tickets through the network of 12306.

Most passengers from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan don't have mainland mobile phone numbers, so it's troublesome to log in to the background of 12306, which is not convenient to buy tickets online at all, but now a brand-new policy has been introduced, and you can log in to buy tickets without mainland mobile phone numbers.

Passengers from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan who do not have a mainland mobile phone number can also register and purchase tickets through the 12306 network, just like mainland residents.

On June 5438+1October 2 1 day, 2020, the National Immigration Bureau held a press conference in Beijing, reporting the breakthroughs made by the National Immigration Bureau, the Ministry of Public Security, the State Administration of Market Supervision, China Railway Corporation and other departments 15 in promoting the application of entry and exit documents since March 20 19.

According to Li Jianfeng, director of the Passenger Transport Marketing Department of China Railway Corporation and the Ministry of Passenger Transport, China Railway Corporation attached great importance to the relevant requirements of the Work Plan on Promoting the Convenient Application of Entry-Exit Documents, organized relevant units to formulate plans, and actively carried out technical docking with the strong support of the National Immigration Bureau to promote the convenient application of entry-exit documents in railway transportation.

Li Jianfeng said, the first is to optimize Internet ticket purchase. At present, 12306 website and mobile phone customers have realized the online verification function of identity information when using Hong Kong and Macao residents' passes to and from the mainland and mainland travel permit for taiwan residents and China passports to register. Passengers from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan who have not applied for the mainland mobile phone number can choose to complete the registration by e-mail without going to the station window to check the verification documents. Registration and ticket purchase procedures can be handled online, just like mainland residents.

The second is to go through the formalities of entering and leaving the station smoothly. With the gradual expansion of the application scope of railway e-tickets, up to now, 1020 stations have opened e-ticket business, basically covering high-speed rail and intercity railway. In the early stage of e-ticket design, the railway department considered the convenient application of entry and exit documents. By upgrading the existing gates and installing new self-service gates and semi-self-service gates, passengers with entry-exit certificates can complete the check-in of e-tickets with certificates, just like mainland residents.

The third is to improve relevant self-service. The railway department has carried out large-scale transformation and upgrading of self-service ticket purchasing equipment. At present, about 70% of the equipment supports automatic reading of entry and exit documents, which is convenient for passengers to handle self-service such as printing ticket purchase information sheets and reimbursement vouchers.

Li Jianfeng also mentioned that, in the next step, the railway department will continue to expand the application scope of e-tickets, incorporate the automatic reading of entry and exit documents into relevant equipment standards, and finally achieve full coverage of self-service equipment, so that tourists from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and overseas Chinese can enjoy the same self-service and convenience services as mainland residents.
