Public urged to guard against fake messages on Guangdong-Hong Kong Regular Quotas

*********************************************************************************

A spokesman for the Transport Department (TD) today (December 19) reminded members of the public to guard against and avoid being misled by recent fake messages on social media claiming that Hong Kong residents may apply for valid permanent Guangdong-Hong Kong Regular Quotas for their vehicles by their Mainland Travel Permits for Hong Kong and Macao Residents (commonly known as Home Return Permits). The incident will be referred to the Police for follow-up.

The spokesman clarified that applicants for the Regular Quotas have to meet the application requirements stipulated by the Mainland authority and provide the Mainland authority with the specified documents (such as business registration documents of both Guangdong and Hong Kong) to apply for the Regular Quotas. Upon receipt of the Mainland Approval Notice from the Mainland authority, they may apply to the TD for Closed Road Permits for the designated land-based boundary control points.

The spokesman stressed that the arrangements of the Regular Quotas must be jointly deliberated by the governments of the two places holistically. Citizens should refer to official announcements and verify messages to avoid deception or disruption to their travel plans.
