China Introduces New Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macau Residents
United kingdom, United state
China's Exit and Entry Administration announced a new travel permit for non-Chinese citizens of Hong Kong and Macau, effective July 10. The permit, valid for five years, allows multiple entries to mainland China for up to 90 days per visit for business, tourism, or personal purposes.
Extensions are possible under specific conditions. Permit holders can use e-channel services for quicker border control but cannot work, study, or engage in new activities in China.
This measure aims to enhance integration between mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau, supporting the development of the Greater Bay Area. Taiwan recently advised its citizens against travelling to these regions.
