Immigration Department implements limited public services

IMPACT – HIGH

The government has limited in-person transactions to essential and emergency services until at least Aug. 2.

Key Points:

• The Immigration Department (ImmD) is directing individuals who do not need to submit applications in person to submit them via post, drop-in, online or mobile app.
• The full list of services available this week is located here.

Additional information: The ImmD has limited services in recent weeks in response to an uptick in COVID-19 infections in Hong Kong. Hong Kong’s response to the pandemic continues to evolve and more information will be provided as it becomes available. Please check Deloitte’s COVID-19 Digital Map, available here, for information on travel restrictions and immigration changes in other countries/territories.
