Immigration officers on attachment to UK Immigration Service
Four immigration officers will leave for the United Kingdom later this month for a six-week attachment programme with the United Kingdom Immigration Service.
They will visit branches of the Home Office handling immigration and nationality matters as well as immigration offices and ports.
At a briefing before their departure, the Director of Immigration, Mr Laurence Leung Ming- yin, pointed out that the Immigration Department placed great importance on giving its staff professional training.
He said owing to the growing complexity of immigration work, members of the service were required to be vigilant and alert towards changes that had taken place.
Mr Leung said he hoped that the attachment would provide a good opportunity for the officers to widen their horizon and to have a better understanding of the work of their counterparts in the United Kingdom.
The four officers are acting Senior Immigration Officers, Mrs Chow Pang Siu- fong, Mr Sham Kin-fai and Mr Chan Kwok-ki, and acting Immigration Officer Mr Li Kin-sing.
