Czechoslovak passport holders visiting Hong Kong without visas under the above arrangements will be subject to the immigration laws and regulations in force in Hong Kong.
British Hong Kong passport holders will be permitted to visit Czechoslovakia without visas for a period not exceeding seven (7) days on a reciprocal basis and under arrangements identical to those described in (1) and (2) above.
Periods of stay may be extended on a reciprocal basis for further seven-day periods or fractions thereof up to a total of 30 days. Both Governments may refuse such extensions to persons they consider undesirable.
The Government of the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic may refuse permission to enter and stay in the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic to British Hong Kong passport holders considered by that Government to be undesirable. The Government of Hong Kong may similarly refuse permission to enter and stay in Hong Kong to Czechoslovak passport holders considered by it to be undesirable.
Each Government will readmit at the request of the other and without formality, in the case of Hong Kong any British Hong Kong passport holder, and in the case of the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic any Czechoslovak passport holder, who does not fulfil or no longer fulfils the conditions of entry or stay applied by the requesting Government, provided that it is established that that person is entitled to hold the passport concerned.
