Since 10th October 1980 Chinese passport holders who satisfy the Director
of Immigration as to their genuine intention to continue their onward
journey are permitted to transit for 48 hours initially and are required
to give an undertaking to the effect that they will move on at the expiry
of stay. Upon request and where it can be shown that, despite their
intention to proceed overseas, urgent family or personal circumstances
have prevented their immediate departure, extensions of stay for 7
days at a time are granted.
