MODALITIES OF THE ORDERLY REPATRIATION PROGRAMME FOR VIETNAMESE
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WHO ARRIVED IN HONG KONG BEFORE 29 OCTOBER 1991
1 Building on previous understandings and experience with repatriation to Vietnam, the following measures were agreed.
A) The United Kingdom/Hong Kong Governments will, over a period of time, hand over to the Vietnamese Government a series of lists (known as list A) of those Vietnamese illegal immigrants who arrived in Hong Kong before 29 October 1991 who have been found to be illegal immigrants after determination of their status. List A will contain information in the form of an attachment as requested by the Vietnamese Government. Following receipt of each list A, the Vietnamese Government will as quickly as possible hand over to the United Kingdom/Hong Kong Government a further list (list B) which will confirm the names of the illegal immigrants in list A whom Vietnam is ready to receive.
B)
The United Kingdom/Hong Kong Governments will give the Vietnamese Government 14 days notice of the date, place and flight details planned for each return, and hand over at the same time a list (known as list C and based on a specific list B) of those scheduled to return on the flight in question.
C) The United Kingdom/Hong Kong Governments will seek the necessary diplomatic clearance for the flight and the Vietnamese Government will inform them of its authorisation for the flight at least 7 days before the planned flight date.
D) The United Kingdom/Hong Kong Governments will give the Vietnamese Government final confirmation of those scheduled to return 72 hours before the flight date. The Vietnamese Government will accept at this stage any deletions and consider any additions to list C previously submitted at (B), based on list B submitted at
(A) above.
