Hong Kong has officially gazetted a bill to implement joint immigration checks at the Huanggang Port, a border crossing with Shenzhen. This new law will allow for a streamlined process where travelers present their documents only once, significantly reducing clearance times from 30 minutes to approximately five minutes. The legal framework for this co-location arrangement has been established following approvals from China's National People's Congress Standing Committee and the State Council, though the exact opening date is still pending agreement between the Guangdong and Hong Kong governments.
