Can I travel to Hong Kong now? 202 1 latest immigration policy in hong kong

Recently, the exit and entry policies of various countries have been changing, and some cities in China have also made some adjustments. So everyone should pay attention when traveling. Recently, people will be more concerned about Hong Kong's immigration regulations. Please refer to the following.

Current entry requirements in Hong Kong

At present, the Hong Kong government divides the immigrant population into three categories, and divides different "segregation policies" according to different groups:

Hong Kong people who return to Hong Kong from Guangdong/Macao through the "Easy Return to Hong Kong" program can meet certain conditions and be exempted from compulsory quarantine after entry 14 days. The conditions include Hong Kong identity card, online appointment in advance, and polymerase chain reaction testing at recognized institutions within 3 days in advance. Electronic declaration through Yuekang code/Aokang code, etc.

People coming to Hong Kong from the Mainland, Macau and Taiwan Province Province (non-Hong Kong residents who have not participated in the Easy Return Scheme) are required to undergo compulsory quarantine at designated places (residences, hotels or other residences) for a period of 14 days. This is the current quarantine rule for our trip to Hong Kong.

Hong Kong visitors who stay outside China for 2 1 day before coming to Hong Kong shall be forcibly quarantined at designated isolation hotels for 2 1 day. Among them, some people can be exempted (crew, cargo ship crew, passenger ship crew, relevant government operators, public officials above the executive director of Hong Kong Monetary Authority, China Securities Regulatory Commission, China Insurance Regulatory Bureau, academic experts who provide advice to COVID-19, senior management of Hong Kong Airport Authority, etc.).

From April 9th, those who have stayed in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore for 2 1 day before coming to Hong Kong will be subjected to 14-day compulsory isolation at the designated isolation hotel, and then monitored for 7 days. In other words, in places where the epidemic situation in foreign countries is well controlled, it doesn't take 2 1 day to go to Hong Kong, but 14 days is enough. Now both Hong Kong and Singapore are discussing the "tourism bubble". Once the negotiation is successful, the isolation days may be further reduced.

Can I travel to Hong Kong from the Mainland?

Unfortunately, I can't. According to the current regulations of the Hong Kong government, only the following categories of people can enter Hong Kong at present: Hong Kong residents (need to hold certain documents; Passengers who have not been to Chinese mainland, Taiwan Province Province or Macau in other countries in the past 2 1 day; Diplomatic/official passport holders; Spouses and children of Hong Kong residents; Local government personnel performing official duties; Persons engaged in epidemic prevention work approved by the government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region; Passengers who come to work, study, start or engage in any business or settle in Hong Kong with new entry visas.

For the second point, "people from Chinese mainland and Taiwan Province Province/Macau" still need to hold travel documents that allow them to stay in Hong Kong for at least 14 days to meet the requirements of compulsory quarantine. Those who fail to provide relevant documents cannot enter the country.

As far as tourism is concerned, most compatriots who travel from the mainland to Hong Kong apply for a "two-way permit", that is, a "travel permit to and from Hong Kong and Macao" with a maximum stay of 14 days. This means that we must come back after quarantine, and we can't enter Hong Kong with such a certificate. So who can enter Hong Kong? For example, mainland compatriots who want to study abroad or do business can stay for more than 14 days with a special endorsement, or they can go to Hong Kong to apply for a Hong Kong identity card.

How to cross the border through Hong Kong?

Although it is temporarily impossible to enter and transit the mainland through Hong Kong, mainland friends can transit abroad through Hong Kong. The following conditions need to be met: the itinerary is included in a single reservation (joint ticket; Meet the entry requirements of the final destination (such as holding a foreign visa/nucleic acid test report, etc.). ). Get the boarding pass of the connecting flight at the departure point; Check the luggage to the final destination; The transfer time is within 24 hours.

It is convenient to transfer in Hong Kong to Africa, Asia, Europe and North America. Cathay Pacific will resume flights between Hong Kong and Xiamen on April 8, and start flights between Hong Kong and Chengdu on April 2 1, so that mainland friends can have more routes to go abroad. For example:

G

Go to USA: Chengdu-Hongkong-new york (CX987CX844

Go to Thailand: Chengdu-Hong Kong-Bangkok (CX987CX653

Go to Singapore: Chengdu-Hong Kong-Singapore (CX987CX759

Go to Japan: Chengdu-Hong Kong-Tokyo (CX987CX520

However, only the route is not enough. After all, during the epidemic, countries have set high barriers to entry and restrictions. I suggest you ask someone who knows what to do before you travel and determine your itinerary!

Can I transfer to China via Hongkong?

People who have just returned from abroad need to be quarantined 14/2 1 day. My friends who stay abroad are most concerned about: If I want to stay in a hotel in Hong Kong for 2 1 day, can I transfer to China in Hong Kong?

Unfortunately, it can't be done, because the compulsory quarantine regulations are aimed at Hong Kong people, such as Hong Kong permanent residents and Hong Kong nationals holding Hong Kong passports.

1. China people with foreign nationality. During the epidemic, many naturalized foreign Chinese returned to China, such as Australian Chinese and American Chinese. As mentioned above, visitors who come to Hong Kong with new entry visas to work, study, start a business or engage in any business or settle down can enter Hong Kong. But in fact, this is open to mainland compatriots or non-permanent Hong Kong residents stranded overseas. As mentioned above, mainland compatriots can't go to Hong Kong to "play" with two-way permits at present, but they can go to Hong Kong to "work and study" with new ID cards or other endorsements, for example.

According to the regulations of Xiangfu from March 25th, all non-Hong Kong residents who arrive in Hong Kong by air from overseas countries/regions are not allowed to enter the country. This makes it clear that even the vast majority of foreign Chinese, even if they apply for a visa, cannot enter the country.

If you are a non-permanent Hong Kong resident in a foreign country (you are also a legal resident, but you cannot live permanently), you must apply to the Hong Kong Immigration Department for an entry permit before you can return to Hong Kong.

2. Compatriots holding passports of the People's Republic of China. Before the outbreak of the epidemic, such people may stay in Hong Kong for seven days with valid passports and transit tickets when transiting overseas through the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to the mainland of China or other countries (or regions), without an entry permit. However, since the outbreak of the epidemic, seven days is not enough even for compulsory quarantine, not to mention that the Hong Kong government stipulates that mainland compatriots who travel abroad within 14 days are not allowed to enter the country. Therefore, it is impossible for China passport holders to return to the Mainland after transiting Hong Kong.

Third, there is another possibility, that is, you don't have to stay in Hong Kong, you can do double tests of nucleic acid and serum directly in the transit area of Hong Kong airport, and then go back to China in green code immediately. Although there is no such testing condition at present, since Frankfurt, Paris Charles de Gaulle, Helsinki Vantaa and other airports have the ability to do it, I believe Hong Kong will have such conditions in the future (it is just a question of whether it is willing to do it).

4. Hong Kong is now opening up the entry of non-Hong Kong residents from overseas low-risk countries/regions in an orderly manner: in view of the stable epidemic situation in some areas and the low public health risk, the government will adjust the quarantine arrangements for arriving passengers who have stayed in overseas low-risk areas in accordance with the Regulations on Compulsory Quarantine of Certain Arriving Passengers in Hong Kong (Chapters 599C, 599E and 599H) and allow relevant.

For those who arrive in Hong Kong on or after April 9 and have only stayed in Australia, New Zealand or Singapore for 2 1 day before arrival, the compulsory quarantine period will be shortened to 14 days. They need to conduct self-monitoring within the next 7 days, and conduct mandatory testing on the first 19 day after arrival. Relevant personnel still need to be isolated in the designated isolation hotel. This quarantine arrangement applies to both Hong Kong residents and non-Hong Kong residents.

Policies change every day. Although most non-Hong Kong people cannot enter Hong Kong, non-Hong Kong people who stay in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore are exceptions. If they can get entry visas, they can really come to Hong Kong after April 9th! Some people may say that places with direct flights are not allowed to transfer to China! But don't forget, China's embassy in Australia issued a notice in April, returning from Australia, you can transit through one place!
