On November 15, the Exit and Entry Administration Bureau of the People’s Republic of China announced a pilot program for “no document presentation” lanes at the Shenzhen Bay and Gongbei border crossings.
To further facilitate travel between Chinese mainland and the Hong Kong and Macau regions and improve customs clearance efficiency, the bureau will pilot an upgrade to some fast-track lanes at Shenzhen Bay Port in Shenzhen and Gongbei Port in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province. Individuals who frequently travel between Chinese mainland and Hong Kong or Macau for personal reasons will be able to use the “no document presentation” lanes.
Starting November 20, 2024, mainland residents aged 14 and above with a valid travel permit for Hong Kong and Macau and a multiple-entry visa for stay, family visits, business, talent exchange, or other purposes, as well as Hong Kong and Macau residents holding valid travel permits to the mainland (including non-Chinese nationals), can choose to use these lanes without needing to present a physical travel document. This is contingent on consenting to border inspection authorities collecting and verifying facial recognition, fingerprints, and other biometric information. Those opting to use other inspection lanes will still need to present valid travel documents for inspection.
Mainland residents traveling with official travel documents will not yet be eligible for the “no document presentation” lanes and must proceed through other inspection channels as usual.
Since mainland residents entering Hong Kong or Macau need to present documents for inspection, and Hong Kong and Macau residents entering the mainland must present documents for residency, travel, and other formalities, all travelers between Chinese mainland and the Hong Kong and Macau regions are advised to carry valid travel documents with them. For assistance, travelers can contact the 12367 hotline.
