Hong Kong northbound vehicle scheme extended to 2031

Suomi

Mainland authorities have extended the scheme allowing Hong Kong private cars to travel to Guangdong by five years.

The Guangdong provincial government announced in a notice published on Saturday that the Northbound Travel for Hong Kong Vehicles scheme will be extended by five years until June 1, 2031. The scheme took effect on June 1, 2023, for an initial three-year period.

Under the scheme, eligible Hong Kong private car owners can drive into Guangdong via the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge without a mainland number plate or dual-plate permit. Drivers can stay in the province for up to 30 consecutive days per trip and a maximum of 180 days each year.

The Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge remains the only designated border crossing under the scheme. The notice said any issues encountered during implementation should be reported to the Department of Public Security of Guangdong province.
