Multiple visit permit for ex-China Macau residents
The Immigration Department announced today (Friday) to further relax the residential requirement for ex-China residents in Macau for the issue of multiple visit permits.
"With effect from October 9, 1995, ex-China residents of Macau who are holders of Macau identity card for three years or longer will be eligible to apply for the two year multiple permits.
"The permits will allow the holders to visit Hong Kong for up to seven days in any calendar month. The fee for the permit is $90," the spokesman said.
"The arrangement is part of a plan to eventually lower the residential requirement for ex-China residents of Macau for the issue of such permits to two years and further announcement will be made in due course."
"There is no easing of existing system of immigration control and that visitors must leave Hong Kong at the end of their permitted stay," the spokesman reiterated.
