The Transport Department announced today that 1,400 regular quotas for Hong Kong cross-boundary non-commercial private cars using the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge to Macao will be open for application from August 7.
The batch of 1,400 Hong Kong quotas includes 400 new slots agreed upon by the Hong Kong and Macao governments, alongside 1,000 reallocated quotas following their expiry.
Applicants can apply for “quotas with eligibility criteria” if they are individuals or companies engaged in specific employment or business activities in Macao. Alternatively, Hong Kong permanent residents and registered companies can apply for “open quotas”.
The department noted that the “open quotas”, which are free from specific eligibility criteria, were well received when first introduced in May. The relaunch aims to provide greater convenience for residents driving to Macao for work, business, family visits or sightseeing.
Eligible applicants can register online from 9am on August 7 until 5pm on August 20.
A ballot will be conducted to allocate the slots after the application period closes. The quotas will be valid for three years starting from September 30 at the earliest, and will expire September 29, 2029.
