NEW IMMIGRATION BRANCH OFFICE IN KWUN TONG

Fourth To Open In Kowloon

People living in the north-east part of Kowloon are to have

an immigration department branch office in their own neighbourhood.

The new office, situated at 38-40 Wan Hon Street, ground floor,

Kwun Tong, opens for business on Monday morning (March 12).

It will be the fourth branch office the Immigration Department

has in Kowloon.

Except for naturalization and the issue of Macau visit permits,

this new branch office will provide all other immigration services that

are already available at similar branch offices elsewhere in Kowloon.

The opening ceremony will be officiated by Mr. Jack Teng,

president of Kwun Tong Kaifong Welfare Association.

Mr. V.E. Collard, Director of Immigration, will personally

issue the first document after the opening.

Note to Editors:

You are cordially invited to cover the opening of this new immigration branch office on Monday, March 12.

Copies of speeches by Mr. Teng and Mr. Collard will be available.

A 9-seater van (AM 2093) will leave the Kowloon transport sub-pool behind the Tsim Sha Tsui Post Office, at 8.45 a.m. to take reporters and photographers to the new office for the ceremony. A representative from the Immigration Department will be on hand to assist them.
