I. 202 1 Latest Immigration Policy in Hong Kong

Traveling to Hong Kong requires "one certificate and one sign", that is, you need to apply for a pass and an endorsement. The endorsement information is printed on the back of the pass. The relationship between pass and endorsement is similar to that between passport and visa.

What materials do I need to apply for the first Hong Kong and Macao Pass? What documents are prepared? What's the difference between signing G and L? What kind of endorsement can I apply for? The following are detailed instructions for handling the Hong Kong and Macao Pass.

1. Notes on first application for Hong Kong and Macao Pass

If you haven't applied for the Hong Kong and Macao Pass before, you can apply for the first pass when the validity period of the Hong Kong and Macao Pass expires. When applying for the first pass, you can apply for endorsement at the same time by checking the endorsement type on the application form.

Q 1: Can I entrust someone else to do this?

Fingerprint information needs to be verified when handling the first Hong Kong and Macao Pass and endorsement. You must submit your application in person at the Exit-Entry Administration Center, and you cannot entrust an agent.

Q2: How long in advance and where to apply?

10 Go to the Exit-Entry Administration Center of the Public Security Bureau where the household registration is located on the working day in advance.

Step 1: Pre-apply online.

Online pre-application can improve the efficiency of processing, or you can apply directly on the spot.

Log on to the exit-entry administration website of the local public security bureau to make a pre-application. After passing, make an appointment at the time and place to receive the pre-admission number. I submit my application at the appointed time and place with the pre-acceptance number and application materials.

Step 2: Fill in the application form.

You can download it from the exit-entry management website of the local public security bureau, collect it from the exit-entry management center or fill it out and print it on the self-service filling machine. Use a black pen or signature pen to paste my full-body bareheaded color photo (2 inches, white, light blue and gray background) within half a year.

Step 3: Collect electronic photos.

The easiest way is to get it directly from the photo room of the exit-entry management center, but generally you have to queue up.

Step 4: Submit the application on site.

Submit materials, answer inquiries, collect fingerprints, receive application receipt, and sign after verification.

Step 5: Pay the handling fee.

Step 6: Get a pass.

2. Endorsement types (G and L)

G: Personal travel endorsement.

You can travel freely without joining a group, and you can fly directly from the mainland to Hong Kong, staying in Hong Kong for no more than 7 days at a time.

L: group travel endorsement.

You need to join a group, you can't travel freely, you can't fly directly from the mainland to Hong Kong, and you can stay in Hong Kong for no more than 7 days at a time.

Q 1: Can I really only travel with the L-prefix team?

In fact, there is a way to go to Hong Kong, and you don't have to sign an L-shaped group.

Specifically, if you buy the "Customs Delivery Service" online or at the port site in advance, you can go to Hong Kong freely through the Shenzhen port without joining the group. Of course, you can fly directly from the mainland to Hong Kong without going through the Shenzhen port, but this kind of "customs service" is more expensive.

Update endorsement

Renewal refers to holding a valid Hong Kong and Macao Pass and applying for an endorsement again without a valid endorsement. No valid endorsement includes two situations: the endorsement has expired and the number of endorsements has been used up.

Validity and quantity of endorsement

Hong kong: once every three months (you can go to hong kong at any time within the validity period of three months, and so on, twice every three months, once a year, twice a year.

4. Transit visa-free

You can stay in Hong Kong for 7 days with a valid passport, a valid visa from a third country and a ticket from a third country. You don't need to carry Hong Kong and Macao passes and endorsements. If a third country is exempt from visa or landing visa, a valid air ticket can be presented. But if you don't actually fly to a third country, it will be recorded in your passport by the customs, which will affect the visas of other countries.

Q 1: The itinerary is Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macau and Hong Kong. How many Hong Kong and Macao endorsements do you need?

Whether it's a G sign or an L sign, you only need one Hong Kong endorsement and one Macao endorsement within 7 days. The trip from Hong Kong to Macao and back to Hong Kong is an "incidental trip" in Hong Kong's entry and exit regulations.
