Multiple-Entry Scheme for Shenzhen Residents
Hong Kong is expanding its multiple-entry Individual Visit Scheme (IVS) to include Shenzhen residence permit holders. This allows Shenzhen residents to visit Hong Kong more freely, boosting tourism, catering, retail, and other industries.
Currently, Shenzhen permanent residents can only make one weekly trip to Hong Kong under the IVS. The new arrangement removes restrictions on the number of visits for IVS holders.
