Please be sure to inquire about relevant matters in advance.

How to go through customs

When tourists or staff from the mainland arrive in Hong Kong, they must first go through immigration formalities. Entrants must bring their passport, pass and a tourist arrival application form from the Hong Kong SAR Immigration Department. The application form needs to be filled out in person. The content is very simple and mainly includes name, date of birth, nationality, ID number, where you are from, occupation, etc. If you don’t know how to fill it out, you can ask the staff at the immigration department for inquiries. The application form is placed in many conspicuous places in front of the customs, and can also be obtained directly from the customs officers. If you come to Hong Kong by plane or train, the service lady will proactively distribute an entry application form to each passenger during the trip. There are also people who specially distribute them on ships or direct buses.

When passing through customs, Hong Kong residents and foreign tourists pass through different channels. There are usually eye-catching signs at the immigration points to indicate the correct channel. Please follow the relevant instructions when crossing the border. Exit procedures are basically similar to entry procedures. You only need to hold your valid documents and completed exit registration card and queue up to go through the exit procedures. There are also obvious signs at each checkpoint indicating the exit channels for people holding different documents. Please check carefully and choose the correct exit channel.

Entry and exit checkpoints have also been opened at Luohu, Huanggang, Manjindu and other places at the border between Hong Kong and Shenzhen.

Please note that those who arrive in Shenzhen and enter Hong Kong by themselves must pay attention to the closing times of each border crossing. Generally speaking, individuals cross the border on their own, mostly through Luohu Checkpoint, which handles entry and exit procedures between 6:30-0:00. Those with vehicles can enter through the Man Kam To Checkpoint. There are fewer people entering here and the processing procedures are faster. The processing time is from 7:00 to 22:00.

How to exchange Hong Kong dollars

There are currency exchange offices at Hong Kong Airport Hall, Luo Wu Customs, Sheung Wan Pier and other entry-exit points.

Exchanging currency in Hong Kong is very convenient. Banks, hotels, and even general stores can exchange RMB into Hong Kong dollars. Banks generally charge handling fees when exchanging Hong Kong dollars.

On the streets of Hong Kong, you can see exchange shops with "Exchange RMB" signs everywhere, especially those in the Sheung Wan area with higher exchange rates. But since it is a small street shop, exchangers should be careful to prevent counterfeit money. There is also a kind of "liangdai shop" that can be seen everywhere on the street, which is also a good choice for exchanging RMB.

With the increasing number of people from the mainland visiting Hong Kong in recent years, many shops, especially some gold shops, welcome the use of RMB for shopping. Some gold shops also provide RMB exchange services, but the exchange rate is mostly negotiable. When exchanging Hong Kong dollars, pay attention to the exchange rates of various currencies on the day, especially the parts that say "SELL" and "BUY". SELL is the exchange rate at which the store sells RMB, and BUY is the exchange rate at which the store buys RMB and exchanges it for Hong Kong dollars. Some exchange shops also charge handling fees, so you should ask beforehand.
