VISA REQUIREMENTS FOR HONG KONG PASSPORT HOLDERS
“GERMANY
149 We are committed at Ministerial level to approaching
the Germans to request a relaxation of their visa
requirements for British subjects from Hong Kong.
hoov However, the prospects of success are fairly bleak
because of the large and increasing numbers of
entering illegal immigrants from Hong Kong presently admitted
to Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands under our
visa abolition agreements with those countries, numbers
of whom are filtering across to Germany.

whether the Hong Kong Government would undertake
to refund Girect to the Germans any deportation
expenses incurred by them.
