Old Hong Kong ID cards to be invalidated

With effect from July 10, non-Chinese Hong Kong permanent residents is now eligible for Mainland Travel Permits for Hong Kong & Macao Residents (non-Chinese Citizens).

Individuals holding the travel card will be able to enjoy self-service clearance at control points of the Mainland, significantly enhancing clearance efficiency. The card also allows travel to the Mainland multiple times within a five-year validity period, with a stay not exceeding 90 days for each visit, without the need to apply for a separate visa for entry.

This new measure will highly facilitate international talents working in Hong Kong to better seize opportunities in the vast Chinese market.
