A spokesman for the Transport Department (TD) today (April 29) again reminded members of the public not to be misled by recent fake messages in social media and messaging groups that claim Hong Kong residents can directly apply for valid permanent Guangdong-Hong Kong Regular Quotas for their vehicles and use various boundary control points (BCPs). The case will be referred to law enforcement agencies for follow-up.
      
     A spokesman for the TD 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 added, "Similar false information has from time to time appeared in local and Mainland social media and messaging groups. Such messages repeatedly impersonate government announcements, falsely claiming that quotas are not subject to BCPs or eligibility criteria to solicit clients. Members of the public should heighten vigilance."

     The HKSAR Government stressed that the arrangements for the Regular Quotas and the use of BCPs are serious issues which 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.
