Starting from today, the number of applications of Northbound Travel for Hong Kong Vehicles to be processed on each working day is increased from 400 to 500, as agreed between the authorities of Guangdong and Hong Kong, the Transport Department announced.

The move aims to better cope with the needs of new and renewal applications, the department explained.

The eligibility, procedures and balloting for the scheme remain unchanged. The streamlined renewal arrangements implemented since May 2024 will also continue.
