City makes exchanges easy with HK, Macau

Shanghai piloted some new measures to facilitate personnel exchanges between Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Macau as part of the efforts of the National Immigration Administration to simplify the application for entry and exit process.

Six categories of professionals who work in Shanghai, including those in scientific research and health sectors, can apply for a multiple-entry endorsement valid from one to five years, with a stay of no more than 30 days in Hong Kong or Macau each time.

Fan Mingchao, executive deputy director of the Shanghai Arbitration Commission, was at the Shanghai Exit-Entry Administration Bureau yesterday to apply.

It took him about half an hour to receive the endorsement for visiting Hong Kong and Macau valid for multiple visits for one year.

“The policy promotes the integration of industry, academia, and research in Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Macau, which will help build a talent highland in Shanghai,” said Shen Qiang, director of the Chinese citizen outbound documents management division of the Shanghai Exit-Entry Administration.

Chinese mainland residents applying for business endorsements to Hong Kong and Macau can now also submit applications at the exit-entry administration windows of public security authorities.

The intelligent endorsement equipment on the second floor of the reception hall in the NIA has also added the function of multiple business endorsements to Hong Kong and Macau, making the application process easy and quick.

Shen said the business endorsement to Hong Kong and Macau is not only efficient, covering nationwide, the period of stay in Hong Kong and Macau for the holder has been extended from 7 days to 14 days.
