The Immigration Department advises members of the public that they should apply for travel documents as early as possible if they intend to travel abroad during the Christmas holidays.

"The number of people travelling outside Hong Kong will increase sharply during this time of the year," a spokesperson for the department said today (Thursday).

"In order to avoid last minute rush, members of the public are advised to apply for passports and certificates of identity well in advance of the date on which they intend to travel."
