A spokesman for the Transport Department (TD) today (March 24) reminded members of the public not to be misled by recent fake messages on social media that claim Hong Kong residents can directly apply for valid permanent Guangdong-Hong Kong Regular Quotas for their vehicles. The case will be referred to law enforcement agencies for follow-up.
 
     The spokesman clarified that applicants for the Regular Quotas must meet the application requirements stipulated by the Mainland authority and submit the specified documents (such as business registration documents of both Guangdong and Hong Kong) to the Mainland authority. Upon receipt of the Mainland Approval Notice from the Mainland authority, applicants may then apply to the TD of the HKSAR Government for Closed Road Permits for the designated land-based boundary control points.
 
     The spokesman stressed that the arrangements for the Regular Quotas must be jointly deliberated by the governments of the two places holistically. Citizens should refer to official announcements, verify messages carefully and stay alert against deception to avoid disruption to their travel plans.
