Can I go to Hong Kong and Macao after I have been in prison?

Legal analysis: 1. Those who have been punished can apply for Hong Kong and Macao passes, and there is no official restriction on this. If you work in these two places, whether you need to provide proof of no criminal record depends on whether the employers in these two places have such regulations.

2. The new version of the Hong Kong and Macao Pass stipulates that the first application must be made in person at the exit-entry administration office where the household registration is located. The application materials include: the original and photocopy of my resident ID card and residence booklet (copied on A4 paper, which can be copied on the same paper), the application form for entry and exit documents of China citizens, and two 2-inch light-colored background photos (which can also be taken on-site at my own expense), respectively, to apply for endorsements to and from Hong Kong and Macao. If you only go to Hong Kong, you have to apply for a Hong Kong endorsement; if you only go to Macao, you have to apply for a Macao endorsement. If you go to Hong Kong and Macao, you must apply for both endorsements.
