What is the DT record in the passport and what impact does it have on visa application?

DT is a bad record written by the Hong Kong Immigration Bureau, a mark given to tourists who did not actually fly to a third country but entered the country through irregular means. It is regarded as "an outbound trip to Hong Kong or Macau through abnormal means".

DT=DELETE TRAVEL, which means "cancel the trip". DT1 = one trip cancellation, DT2 = two trip cancellations, and so on.

As we all know, the document required for traveling to Hong Kong and Macau is a travel permit to and from Hong Kong and Macau; and a passport is used to travel to other countries by plane or other means of transportation through Hong Kong.

According to relevant regulations, a person holding his/her passport and any foreign visa can stay in Hong Kong for 7 days, and a person holding his/her passport and any foreign visa can stay in Macau for 5 days. In other words, mainland residents holding a passport and any foreign visa can stay in Macau for 5 days. With a foreign visa, you can enter Hong Kong or Macau for transit and stay, and there is no need to apply for a Hong Kong and Macau pass and endorsement.

However, if the passenger does not hold a Hong Kong and Macau permit, but only arrives in Hong Kong or Macau with a passport, and returns directly to mainland China after entering the country for sightseeing or business, that is, he does not actually go abroad, then customs officers will usually check in when leaving Hong Kong. A handwritten "DT" on a passport is often referred to as a "DT" record. Macau usually does not write "DT", but is stamped with the stamp of Macau Pass, which is also regarded as Macau "DT".

Doing so will usually leave a DT mark

When you are marked as DT, your visa application will be refused. Even if you submit a visa application, it is very likely that it will not be approved. pass. In fact, a passport can only have two DTs at most, and the third time it will be blacklisted by the Hong Kong Immigration Bureau. This will result in your passport not only no longer being able to be used to enter Hong Kong, but also likely to be rejected when applying for visas from other countries.
