MINIMUM PERIOD FOR PROCESSING APPLICATIONS
FOR PASSPORTS AND ENTRY CERTIFICATES INCREASED
The Director of Immigration announced today that due to considerable
increase in the number of applications for British passports and Entry
Certificates for Britain, changes have been made regarding the minimum period
required for processing.
The minimum period is now 14 working days (i.e. about three weeks)
in the case of Hong Kong British passports, and four working days (i.e. about one
week) in the case of Entry Certificates.
Any inconvenience caused is regretted and people intending to travel
should take these changes into account in planning their arrangements.
Release Time: 7.30 p.m.
