MEMORANDUM FOR EXECUTIVE COUNCIL

THE PROBLEM

VISA ABOLITION AGREEMENTS

We need to consider what arrangements should

be made to ensure that British Hong Kong passport. holders continue to enjoy visa-free access to

1 )

various territories before and after 1997, and that

Hong Kong Special Administrative Region passport holders can enjoy the same arrangements from 1 July 1997.

RECOMMENDATION AND ADVICE SOUGHT

It is recommended that we consult the Chinese

side of the JLG on a proposal that Hong Kong should

negotiate with third countries open-dated visa abolition

agreements (VAAs) on the basis of a model

agreement at Annex A.

Note (1): At present only holders of British Hong Kong

passports enjoy this privilege.

holders do not.
