FASTER IMMIGRATION CLEARANCE AT HONG KONG AIRPORT
The Immigration Department is making special arrangements for the
convenience of Hong Kong residents arriving by air and to speed up immigration
clearance of all passengers at the Kai Tak Airport.
Starting from Monday (August 21) two special channels will be set
aside for immigration processing of residents returning to Hong Kong.
A spokesman for the department said today that holders of travel
documents issued by the Immigration Department in Hong Kong and holders of all
other travel documents, which bear an endorsement showing that they have a
right to land here or that they have been granted resident status in Hong Kong,
are invited to use these channels.
The two special channels will be situated near the middle of the
immigration area and will be clearly marked.
There is no change in Port Health clearance, customs examination nor
in immigration clearance for passengers leaving Hong Kong.
"It is hoped that the arrangements, which are being introduced on a
trial basis, will be more convenient to Hong Kong residents and will provide a
more efficient system of immigration clearance for all passengers arriving at
Kai Tak Airport," the spokesman added.
