The E-Channel service for mainland passengers will be launched first at the Lok Ma Chau Spur Line and Lo Wu Control Point on January 3, 2012, and will be launched before mid-2012 It will be expanded in phases to Shenzhen Bay, China Ferry Terminal, Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal and Hong Kong (HongKong) International Airport Control Point. 2.

If you change the endorsement after one year, you can get a new endorsement in Hong Kong. You need to reapply for the E channel

3. If you change the endorsement, Hong Kong will need to re-examine it, and you must apply for the E channel self-service trip again. In Shenzhen, you don’t need to renew your visa if you don’t need to change it. Apply again.

How to apply for Hong Kong e-Channel? After applying for the e-channel, queuing is N times faster than the original queue. In the future, it only takes 2-4 minutes to pass the customs in Hong Kong. Moreover, for people who often go to Hong Kong, there is no need to pay too much. print. The editor of Xinxin below will introduce the detailed process of E-Channel registration in Hong Kong (HongKong).

Hong Kong (HongKong) e-channel processing location:

Currently, the Hong Kong (HongKong) immigration offices are at Luo Wu, Lok Ma Chau Spur Line, Shenzhen Bay, China Ferry Terminal, Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal, Hong Kong 21 check-in offices have been opened at 6 control points including Hong Kong International Airport. ?

Detailed process

(1) I will not go into details about customs clearance in Shenzhen, but focus on Hong Kong. I passed the customs at Futian Port. After passing the Shenzhen Customs, I walked through three escalators, and then on the right was the queuing area for Channel E. The opening hours in Hong Kong are from 8:30 in the morning to 16:30 in the afternoon, and we also work on Saturdays and Sundays. I arrived at about 7:40 on Saturday morning, and there were already about 30 people waiting in front of me. By about 8:15, there were about 70 or 80 people in the entire queue.

Note:

Hong Kong arranges the number of registrations according to time periods, such as 8:30-10:00, they only arrange registration for 60 people, and security guards When the number of people is estimated to be about the same, a message will be printed on an electronic display screen that the numbers of the first 60 people have been issued (please note: there will be no staff issuing numbers at this time). People after sixty people will probably have to wait for the next time period, so XDJM, if you want to enter the first echelon, I personally feel that you have to hurry up early. In short, everyone should always remember: in today's society, there is no earliest, only newer. morning! ! !

(2) At 8:30, the queue is starting to move. The design here in Hong Kong is very user-friendly. The queue is only about one person wide, so as long as you stand still, it is basically impossible to jump in line. Possibly, there will then be an immigration officer standing at the front of the line checking everyone's documents, just flipping through them to see if everyone is eligible to apply.

Note:

Here is a reminder to everyone. Before we go to register, we should check whether we meet the conditions for applying for E-channel. The day I applied for it, There were several people in front of me who were asked to leave the team and go to the other side for manual inspection because they did not meet the requirements.

After passing through Hong Kong, you can come back through Futian Port. After exiting Hong Kong (HongKong), do not go to the second floor. Pay attention to the left side. There is a sign for taking the bus. Go out there, reach the ground, and then go up to the floor for returning to the mainland.

(3) Then everyone will go through a manual inspection channel specially opened for E Channel. This is no different from other ordinary manual inspections, just queue up, and then hand in the Hong Kong and Macao Permit. The customs officer will Stamped above. After stamping, the applicants will walk to a cozy cabin. A security guard will stand at the door and give everyone a number. After entering the room, they will sit down and wait for their number to be called. At the same time, there will be a display showing which number goes to which room. The application process is extremely simple. When you arrive, sit down in the room, put your left and right index fingers on the machine for fingerprint registration, then smile silly at the camera, sign a guarantee form, and you're done. I would like to commend the Hong Kong officials who handled the registration. They were all polite, patient and fast.

(4) After the application is completed, a logo will be affixed on the back of your Hong Kong and Macao permit and the words "E channel has been successfully applied for" will be marked on it. The specific function is that you can read the instructions when applying. Well, the official will tell you that you can use Channel E in fifteen minutes. When I returned from Sheung Shui, I took Channel E. This is a channel specially opened for mainland visitors who have registered for Channel E. It may not be the peak period yet, so I am using it alone. Watching Hong Kong people queuing up to use Channel E, buddy laughed.

The above is the application process. I would like to add a few points here:

1. Transportation: As we all know, there are few parking lots near Futian Port and it is difficult to find parking spaces. It is recommended that Park your car in the underground parking lot of the Children's Palace or the Civic Center, and then take the subway there. There is a free parking lot near the Children's Palace. It is easier to find a spot when you go in the morning. The parking lot of the Civic Center used to be 5 yuan a day, but now the price has increased. Yes, the first hour is RMB 5 per hour, and every hour beyond that hour is RMB 1 per hour, so everyone can weigh it up for themselves.

2. Regarding the issue of documents, a valid endorsement is naturally indispensable. In Shenzhen, if you have applied for self-service inspection before, the self-service inspection in Shenzhen will continue to be valid as long as you do not change the certificate. , there is no need to re-apply for a new endorsement.

3. There is no need to pay to apply for the E channel, it is free

4. One of the prerequisites for applying for the E channel is that the Hong Kong and Macao permit must have a multiple-entry endorsement for one year. Then, based on the date you apply for registration, it will be calculated forward to visit Hong Kong more than three times within 12 months. Both of these two are indispensable. If you do not reach 3 times in a year, you will not be eligible to apply. The e-channel is valid for one year.
