Easier Entry
Business travelers who visit Hong Kong three or more times a
year can buy a pass that speeds them through the immigration
process.
Available for approximately $64, the Hong Kong Special
Administrative Region Travel Pass features a unique bar code that
lets holders use the immigration lines for residents at entry
points to Hong Kong instead of the lines for international
visitors.
