Immigration Department holds meeting of "1+2" co-ordination mechanism among Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong and Macao immigration management authorities for 2026 (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
At the meeting, the three authorities conducted a comprehensive review of the relevant works undertaken since the previous mechanism meeting held last year, and deliberated on collaborative measures in key areas such as ensuring immigration services for major events, supporting the high-quality development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, strengthening immigration control and services, and enhancing clearance efficiency and the technological level of immigration inspection at control points, resulting in a series of practical outcomes.
Since its launch in 2019 in Qingdao, Shandong Province, the "1+2" co-ordination mechanism has served as a key platform for co-operation in immigration management between the Mainland and the two Special Administrative Regions. Established under the leadership of the Exit and Entry Administration of the People's Republic of China with the participation from the Immigration Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Public Security Police Force and Identification Services Bureau of the Macao Special Administrative Region, the "1+2" co-ordination mechanism aims to enhance co-ordination and planning in immigration management across the three regions, facilitate smoother personnel exchanges, and better integrate Hong Kong and Macao into the national development strategy.
