Can Hong Kong people apply for border defense certificates in Shenzhen now?

Hong Kong people are not allowed to apply for border defense permits in Shenzhen, only for Shenzhen household registration and mainland residents. Shenzhen Border Card means that the holder of this card can travel freely between Shenzhen and Hong Kong and enjoy certain tax incentives and employment rights. According to statistics, some illegal immigrants and criminals take advantage of the loopholes in the Shenzhen border card to carry out illegal activities. Therefore, the cancellation of the Shenzhen border card also plays a positive role in maintaining social order and stability.
