Participants must agree to facial recognition and fingerprint verification at the checkpoint.<\/p>\n<p>Travelers who prefer conventional methods or do not meet the criteria must use regular inspection channels with their physical travel documents. The \u201cno document presentation\u201d option is not yet available for holders of official or diplomatic passports.<\/p>\n<p>While the pilot program introduces convenience, authorities remind all travelers to carry their valid travel documents as they may be required for entry verification in Hong Kong\/Macau or for other administrative purposes in Mainland. Travelers encountering issues can seek assistance via the 12367 hotline.<\/p>\n<p>A representative from the National Immigration Administration emphasized that the transition to \u201cface scan\u201d over \u201cdocument scan\u201d at border checks is a technological upgrade to simplify the clearance process and improve the travel experience. The innovation is expected to facilitate smoother exchanges between Mainland and Hong Kong\/Macau, fostering closer integration of the regions into the broader national development framework.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-626 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/anychinavisa.com\/news\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/AnyVisa-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"AnyVisa\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anychinavisa.com\/news\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/AnyVisa-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/anychinavisa.com\/news\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/AnyVisa-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/anychinavisa.com\/news\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/AnyVisa.jpg 430w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Follow our Official WeChat to get the latest policy of China Visa.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Immigration Administration of China announced on November 15, 2024, an initiative to enhance the efficiency of travel between the Mainland and Hong Kong\/Macau regions.
