Extension of e-Channel service to holders of People’s Republic of China electronic passport Eligible PRC passport holders can use the e-Channel service when entering Hong Kong without prior enrolment for e-Channel service via face recognition technology. The new arrangement does not apply to PRC passport holders entering Hong Kong on the strength of ‘Entry Permit for Hong Kong’ issued by the overseas Chinese Diplomatic and Consular Missions. They will continue to complete arrival clearance at immigration counters.
The ImmD has always been committed to serving the public and striving for innovation by enhancing the clearance efficiency of the e-Channels and expanding the service target group so that more visitors can use the e-Channels for self-service immigration clearance, thereby providing them with a more convenient and efficient immigration experience.Issued at HKT 12:58
