Hong Kong gazettes bill to enable joint immigration checks at Shenzhen crossing

Hong Kong has gazetted a new bill aimed at implementing a joint immigration clearance system at the border crossing with Shenzhen. This upgrade is intended to reduce processing times from 30 minutes to just five minutes. The Huanggang Port Hong Kong Port Area Bill allows for a 'co-location' arrangement where travelers can complete both departure and arrival procedures at a single checkpoint using only the necessary travel documents for their destination. The official opening date of this upgraded facility remains pending agreement between the Hong Kong and Guangdong governments. The bill will be presented to the Legislative Council for initial readings soon, following approval by the National People’s Congress Standing Committee earlier this month.
