To travel to Hong Kong or Macau, you need to apply for a Hong Kong and Macau pass. What do you need to know or pay attention to when applying for a Hong Kong and Macao pass? The following is a detailed introduction for you. 1. There are 6 types of visas for traveling to Hong Kong and Macao: Individual travel G: divided into three months or one year, valid for one, two or multiple entries, and can stay for seven days each time. Apply for geographical restrictions to enter Hong Kong The cities in Guangdong Province and 28 cities announced by the Ministry of Commerce that are open to individual tourism so far and have direct access to Hong Kong include Shanghai, Beijing, Nanjing, Suzhou, Wuxi, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Taizhou, Fuzhou, Residents of Xiamen, Quanzhou, Tianjin, Chongqing, Chengdu, Jinan, Shenyang, Dalian, Nanchang, Changsha, Nanning, Haikou, Guiyang, Kunming, Shijiazhuang, Zhengzhou, Changchun, Hefei and Wuhan) can apply for free travel to Hong Kong and Macao, multiple times Entry endorsements are currently only issued to residents with Shenzhen registered residence.

Stay D: valid for multiple times, the exit validity period is issued according to the period approved by the relevant departments of Hong Kong or Macao. 2. When traveling to Hong Kong and Macao, you can usually choose L visa or G visa. Cities that have opened free travel to Hong Kong and Macao can apply for G visa, while cities that have not opened it can apply for L visa. The validity period of Hong Kong G visa and L visa are: once in 3 months, twice in 3 months, once in 1 year, and twice in 1 year. Macau visas used to be of these four types, but recently the applications for visas twice every three months and twice a year have been cancelled. The endorsement stipulates that each stay in Hong Kong or Macau shall not exceed 7 days. Explanation of the validity period of the endorsement. For example, traveling to Hong Kong and Macau once a year does not mean that you can only go there once in a year, but it means that the validity period of the endorsement is 1 year. After traveling to and from Hong Kong and Macao within 1 year, you can apply for the endorsement again. There is no limit on the number of applications. If you do not go within 1 year, the visa will expire and become invalid. You can apply for a Hong Kong and Macao tourist group tourist visa (i.e. L visa) again. The customs clearance process: When you leave the customs, neither Hong Kong Customs nor China Customs will care whether you are a group. The signature is still signed by an individual. In other words, for those who hold an L visa, they cannot fly directly when they arrive in Hong Kong and Macao to enter the customs, but they can fly directly after exiting the customs and returning to the mainland. The parents of many visiting friends do not have individual tourist visas for Hong Kong and Macao in their hometowns, but only Hong Kong group tourist visas (i.e. L visas). When traveling to Hong Kong and Macao and accompanying children to enter Hong Kong, they use the "L visa customs clearance" service, which is very convenient. If you are unable to apply for a G visa, but cannot fly directly to Hong Kong, you can still travel freely. You can first go to Shenzhen, find a travel agency to make a group list (there are many on Taobao, about 30 yuan), and then go through customs at major ports in Shenzhen to Hong Kong; the same goes for Macau, you can go through customs at major ports in Zhuhai. L visa does not affect free travel. 3. First-time application and renewal First-time application must be submitted in person to the Exit-Entry Administration Office at the place of residence.
