Hong Kong Immigration Department will no longer stamp passports of arriving visitors with effect from today March 19th, 2013. All arriving visitors at immigration control points will be issued with landing slips instead of stamps in their travel documents. Taiwan residents as well as Macau Smart Permanent Identity Card holders known already this procedure since the landing slip is the same that they currently use.
The landing slip will bear the visitor’s English name, travel document number, arrival date, conditions and limit of stay in Hong Kong. Upon departure, no slip will be issued and the travel document will not be stamped. Visitors are required and should keep the slip during their stay. In case the landing slip is lost, visitors can visit the Extension Section on the 5/F of the Immigration Department Headquarters for a free replacement.
