Hong Kong Launches Its Immigration Mobile Application

10 Dec 2013

The Hong Kong Immigration mobile application was launched by the HKID (Hong Kong Immigration Department). The application provides estimated waiting times for passengers at the control points of land boundary, and other information.

The assessment for waiting time will be updated every 15 minutes.

The application serves as a reference for visitors to Hong Kong and residents so they can select a travel period or land boundary control point that is less congested, to minimize their waiting period.

Also provided in the application are the office hours and addresses of all the control points and immigration offices in Hong Kong, the list of visa-free countries for HKSAR passport holders, requirements for Entry Permit or Visit Visa applications for visitors to Hong Kong, 24-hour hotline assistance to Hong Kong Residents, and lists of representative, mission, consulate and Chinese embassy offices.

From Google Play or Apple App Store, it can be downloaded free.
