| Hong
Kong Immigration Department |
The Immigration
Department, apart from controlling the movement of people into and
out of the HKSAR, also provides services to local residents including
the issue of HKSAR passports and other travel documents, visas and
identity cards, the handling of nationality matters and the registration
of births, deaths and marriages. Considerable effort also goes into
detecting and prosecuting immigration law offenders, and removing
illegal immigrants.
 |
Policies
are framed to limit to an acceptable level population growth
through immigration, and to control the entry of foreign workers.
Immigration procedures for Hong Kong residents, tourists and
businessmen are streamlined. Nationals of more than 170 countries
and territories are allowed visa free visits to Hong Kong. While
ensuring that professionals and businessmen are welcome to work
and invest in the local community, effort is also made to prevent
the entry of undesirable persons and the departure of persons
wanted for criminal offences. |
