The Immigration Department will extend its e-channel service to frequent Hong Kong visitors from May 19.

Visitors who have enrolled with the department can perform self-service immigration clearance at Hong Kong International Airport. There will be six e-channels for arriving visitors and the service will be extended to departing visitors later this year.

The service is available to frequent visitors aged 18 or above who hold a HKSAR Travel Pass, APEC Business Travel Card with the economy code 'HKG' printed on the reverse side or an International Airport Frequent Visitor Card, and who are travelling on a valid travel document and with a multiple visit visa.

They can enroll free of charge at the airport arrival hall. Interested travellers can click here for more details.

The new scheme will enable them to enjoy more convenient and speedy immigration clearance.
