Hong Kong’s Immigration Department has relaxed the registration requirements for the automated immigration clearance system (e-Channel) as of February 27.
The new requirements apply to travelers, including those on tourist visas, who (1) have entered Hong Kong via Hong Kong International Airport at least twice within the past 24 months and (2) hold valid travel documents and multiple-entry permits.
The registration process has also been simplified. Applicants only need to present the valid electronic travel document used upon entry, have their photograph taken, and sign a consent form. Fingerprint registration is not required. For those who do not hold an electronic travel document, the registration process remains unchanged.
Once registered, travelers can use automated immigration clearance (e-Channel) at all immigration control points within Hong Kong.
