Definition of new immigrants

Legal analysis: Because their long-term living habits are different from those of Hong Kong, they will be regarded as "new immigrants".

Legal basis: Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Exit and Entry Administration.

Article 10 Citizens of China who travel between the Mainland and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Macao Special Administrative Region, and citizens of China who travel between Taiwan Province Province, shall apply for a pass according to law and abide by the relevant provisions of this Law. Specific management measures shall be formulated by the State Council.

Eleventh China citizens leaving or entering the country shall submit their passports, other travel documents and other exit and entry documents to the entry-exit frontier inspection authorities, and shall go through the prescribed procedures before leaving or entering the country. At qualified ports, the entry-exit frontier inspection organs shall provide special passages and other convenient measures for China citizens to enter and leave the country.
