HONG KONG -- The online pre-arrival registration for Taiwan residents coming to Hong Kong will be implemented on September 1 in Hong Kong, the city's Immigration Department said Friday.

According to the scheme, eligible Taiwan residents can submit their pre-arrival registration through the e-service platform on the Hong Kong government website.

Successful registrants can visit Hong Kong with the self-printed Notification Slip for Pre-arrival Registration for Taiwan Residents and a travel document valid for re-entry to Taiwan for at least six months.

Immigration department said pre-arrival registration further streamlines entry arrangements for Taiwan residents, boosting Hong Kong-Taiwan exchanges.
