"Northbound Travel for Hong Kong Vehicles" 81st Round of Ballot Registration: Applications Open from June 15
The Transport Department of Hong Kong recently announced that registration for the 81st round of the computer ballot for "Northbound Travel for Hong Kong Vehicles" will begin this Saturday (June 15). Since its launch, this policy has been warmly welcomed by Hong Kong private car owners, allowing citizens to drive to Guangdong Province more conveniently for tourism or business.
According to the Transport Department's arrangements, the registration period for this round of the ballot is from 10:00 AM on June 15 to 11:59 PM on June 18. Interested car owners should submit their applications through the official website within the specified timeframe. This is an important opportunity for eligible Hong Kong vehicles to enter the Mainland.
Due to the large number of applicants, the government currently uses a computer ballot system to allocate quotas. After the ballot results are announced, successful applicants will be notified and required to complete the formal permit application procedures within a designated period. This mechanism ensures the fairness of the application process, giving every car owner an equal opportunity.
The Transport Department specifically reminds the public to check whether they and their vehicles meet the relevant eligibility criteria before registering for the ballot. Applicants must hold a valid Hong Kong Identity Card and a Home Return Permit, and the vehicle must have appropriate insurance certification and a vehicle inspection report to ensure compliance with the traffic safety regulations of both regions.
The "Northbound Travel for Hong Kong Vehicles" policy not only facilitates travel for citizens but also further promotes economic and cultural exchanges within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. With the start of the 81st round of the ballot, it is expected that more Hong Kong families will be able to enjoy the fun of self-driving tours and experience the charm of different cities in the Mainland during holidays.
