⭐ Core Definition: Immigration Department (Hong Kong)

The Immigration Department is a disciplined service under the Government of Hong Kong, responsible for immigration control of Hong Kong.

After the handover of Hong Kong to China in July 1997, Hong Kong's immigration system remained largely unchanged from its British predecessor model. Residents from mainland China do not have the right of abode in Hong Kong, nor can they enter the territory freely, both before and after 1997. There are different regulations that apply to residents of Macau, another Special Administrative Region of China. In addition, visa-free entry acceptance regulations into Hong Kong for passport holders of some 170 countries have remained unchanged since the 1997 handover to China.

👉 Immigration Department (Hong Kong) in the context of Frontier Closed Area

The Frontier Closed Area (Chinese: 邊境禁區) is a regulated border zone in Hong Kong that extends inwards from the border with mainland China. It was established by the Frontier Closed Area Order, 1951, and 1984.

Established to prevent illegal migrants and other illegal activities from mainland China and elsewhere by land and sea, the closed area is fenced along its perimeter to serve as a buffer between the closed border and the rest of the territory patrolled and controlled by Hong Kong Police Force and its Marine Region and the Immigration Department at land and sea. Developments are tightly controlled within the area, leading to less construction and causing most of the area to become a natural habitat for animals and plants.
