The Transport Department today urged members of the public not to be misled by messages on social media claiming that Hong Kong residents can apply directly for permanent “Guangdong-Hong Kong Regular Quotas” for their vehicles.

The messages are being referred to law enforcement agencies for follow-up.

The department clarified that applicants must first meet the application requirements stipulated by the competent Mainland authority, and submit to it documents such as business registrations for both Guangdong and Hong Kong. Upon receipt of Mainland Approval Notice, applicants can then apply to the department for a Closed Road Permit for designated land-based boundary control points.

Highlighting that the arrangements involve both Hong Kong and Guangdong authorities, the Transport Department advised applicants to refer to official announcements, verify messages carefully and stay alert against deception, in order to avoid disruption to their travel plans.
