Many people who suddenly want to go to work or travel in Hong Kong may have to postpone their future trips because they don't have a pass yet. So those who have already made a trip will definitely be anxious to get a pass and want to know how long they will have to wait. Let Bian Xiao tell you how long it will take to apply for the Hong Kong and Macao Pass.
1. How long does it take for the Hong Kong and Macao Pass?
It usually takes 15 working days.
(For the first time, it takes a long time, about 15 working days, that is, three weeks).
According to the regulations, if 16 years old or above applies for the Hong Kong and Macao Pass for the first time, it must be handled in person at the exit-entry administration department of the public security bureau where the household registration is located. This cannot be entrusted to others, nor can it be handled in different places.
If the information prepared is complete, the relevant formalities can be completed in one morning.
You need to bring the following information:
1. Original and photocopy of ID card;
2. The original and photocopy of the household registration book;
3. The copy is A4 (the ID card needs to be copied on both sides, and the household registration book needs to be copied on the home page and the page where I am located);
4. Two-inch bareheaded plane color recent photo with blue background and dark collared coat. The photo size is 48× 33mm, the head width is 2 1-24mm, and the head length is 28-33mm (you must take photos in the photo studio designated by the Public Security Bureau or at the entry and exit, remember to bring the photo receipt, and it is recommended to take photos at the entry and exit);
5. Travel invoices issued by travel companies designated by the Public Security Bureau. (Cities that have not yet opened free travel to Hong Kong and Macao need this, and some places have cancelled it. As for whether to cancel there, you can call the local immigration bureau for detailed consultation. )
Second, the processing program
1. The applicant goes to the acceptance window to consult, collect and fill in the Application Form for China Citizens Going to Hong Kong and Macao for Private Business, and the staff will inform the licensing conditions and materials to be submitted at one time.
2. Digital photography: according to the requirements of certificate production, the applicant himself will take photos at the digital photography point designated by the accepting organ or the public security bureau.
3. Go to the acceptance window to get the number and queue up.
4. The applicant submits the materials to the acceptance window and receives the receipt. (You can choose postal express delivery)
5. The applicant shall print the payment receipt at the processing window with the Receipt.
6. The applicant shall pay in the bank with the payment receipt.
7. The applicant shall collect the bank charge voucher and receipt at the acceptance window.
To sum up, as long as citizens can prepare all the materials on their own without being prepared by the handling staff under the premise of determining their qualifications, they will generally get their certificates quickly under efficient administrative work and will not delay their own itinerary.
