Hong Kong's latest immigration policy

Hong Kong government adjusts quarantine period for immunized immigrants

The Hong Kong Government announced that according to the concept of "vaccine bubble", from May 14, if overseas immigrants, including Hong Kong residents, complete COVID-19 vaccination, the compulsory quarantine period will be adjusted. The compulsory quarantine period for people from mainland China, Macau or Taiwan Province Province will also be shortened to replace the simple repatriation plan.

1. Low epidemic risk areas (Australia, New Zealand and Singapore, etc. ).

According to the new arrangement, if people from low-risk areas in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore have completed COVID-19 vaccination, the quarantine days in designated quarantine hotels will be reduced from the current 14 days to 7 days, and they will be required to conduct self-monitoring for 7 days and undergo compulsory testing on 12 days after their arrival.

2. Moderate and high epidemic risk areas.

For those who came to Hong Kong from high-risk areas and were vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine, the days of compulsory isolation in designated quarantine hotels were shortened from 2 1 day to 14 days, plus 7 days of self-monitoring, and compulsory isolation was implemented on 16 days and 19 days after arrival in Hong Kong.

3. Areas with high epidemic risk

For those who arrive from high-risk areas, even after vaccination 14 days, they still need to undergo compulsory inspection at the designated quarantine hotel for 2 1 day, and the relevant arrangements remain unchanged. As for high-risk areas, relevant flights are prohibited from arriving in Hong Kong, and people who have stayed in these areas are not allowed to board.

Passengers from Mainland China, Macau and Taiwan Province Province:

Arrivals from the Mainland, Macau and Taiwan Province Province will not return to Hong Kong under the Easy Return Scheme. If they are vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine, the compulsory quarantine period will be halved from 14 to 7. After that, they need to carry out self-monitoring for seven days, and receive compulsory inspection on the first 12 day after arriving in Hong Kong.

The new quarantine arrangement applies to those who arrive in Hong Kong through land ports and airports, and will take effect next Wednesday.

what has changed?

This is the first adjustment of the mainland's compulsory isolation of Hong Kong since the "closed customs" of Hong Kong. It is the most direct benefit for mainlanders who come to Hong Kong with tourist visas. At the same time, it is also very useful for mainlanders who stay for more than seven days with endorsements. However, because the travel endorsement to Hong Kong has not been restored, even if it is restored, the stay date of tourists is only seven days, so in theory, there is no substantial change for most tourists, just one more idea. This change is also beneficial to some Hong Kong residents who are not eligible to apply for easy return to Hong Kong.

To be sure, exchanging vaccination will be one of the necessary conditions to shorten the quarantine time and even facilitate customs clearance between the two places in the future.
