Starting at midnight on August 18th, 2026, three new facilitation measures optimizing the "Joint Inspection, One-Time Release" immigration clearance mode officially came into force at three joint inspection ports: the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Port, Hengqin Port, and Qingmao Port. The measures cover optimizing  identity document verification for Hong Kong and Macao residents, as well as expanding the eligibility scope for Joint Inspection Automated Channels and One-stop Joint Services Lanes, further facilitating personnel flows across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA).

Under the new measures, Macao residents and Hong Kong permanent residents traveling from the Chinese mainland to Macao via the "three-door" Joint Inspection Automated Channels at the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, Hengqin, and Qingmao ports, or through the One-stop Joint Services Lanes at Hengqin Port, can now complete automated immigration clearance, for both departure and arrival, simply by presenting their Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Residents (including non-Chinese citizens). Alternatively, travelers may continue using their Macao Resident Identity Card or Hong Kong Permanent Resident Identity Card, achieving convenient single-document clearance.

Chinese citizens holding a one-year, multiple-entry Exit-Entry Permit of the People's Republic of China can travel through the "three-door" Joint Inspection Automated Channels at the Zhuhai-Macao Passenger Clearance Hall of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Port and Hengqin Port (restricted to ports where travelers have registered), provided they have completed automated clearance enrollment procedures with the immigration inspection authorities of the Chinese Mainland and Macao.

Upon completing the automated clearance enrollment procedures with the immigration inspection authorities of the Chinese Mainland and Macao, eligible foreign nationals and Taiwan residents may drive through the One-stop Joint Services Lanes at Hengqin Port. These eligible individuals specifically include: foreign nationals holding a foreign passport and a Foreign Permanent Resident ID Card; foreign nationals holding a foreign electronic passport alongside a residence permit valid for at least 6 months or a multiple-entry Chinese visa valid for at least 6 months (who must simultaneously satisfy Macao's multiple-entry requirements); and Taiwan residents holding a 5-year Mainland Travel Permit for Taiwan Residents.

Since the deployment of the One-stop Joint Services Lanes at Hengqin Port, the clearance time per vehicle has been slashed from the original 8 minutes to under 90 seconds, with the fastest processing completed in just 50 seconds for joint clearance. The expansion of eligible personnel will allow a broader group of cross-boundary drivers to enjoy efficient clearance services through the arrangement of "single queue, centralized collection, joint release."

港珠澳大桥、横琴、青茂三口岸今起实施通关便利措施

2026年8月18日零时起，港珠澳大桥、横琴、青茂三个合作查验口岸正式实施优化“合作查验，一次放行”查验模式的三项便利措施。此次措施涵盖港澳居民证件交验方式优化、合作快捷通道及“联合一站式”车道通行人员范围扩大等内容，促进粤港澳大湾区人员便利往来。

根据新措施，澳门居民及香港永久性居民经港珠澳大桥、横琴、青茂口岸“三道门”合作快捷通道，以及横琴口岸车辆“联合一站式”通道从内地往澳门方向通行时，既可继续交验港澳居民身份证，也可交验港澳居民来往内地通行证（含非中国籍），出入境双向可交验“回乡证”，实现“一证通关”。

持一年多次有效中华人民共和国出入境通行证的中国公民，在办妥内地与澳门边检机关快捷通关备案手续后，可经港珠澳大桥珠海公路口岸珠澳查验大厅、横琴口岸“三道门”合作快捷通道通行（限已备案口岸）。

在办妥内地与澳门边检机关快捷通关备案手续后，符合条件的外国人和中国台湾居民，可以驾车经横琴口岸“联合一站式”车道通行。具体包括：持外国护照及外国人永久居留身份证的外国人；持外国电子护照及6个月以上外国人居留许可或6个月以上多次有效中国签证的外国人（须同时符合外国人多次进入澳门的条件）；持5年有效类台湾居民来往大陆通行证的台湾居民。

横琴口岸“联合一站式”车道自启用以来，单台车通关时间已从原先8分钟压缩至90秒以内，最快仅需50秒即可完成两地查验手续。此次扩大通行人员范围，将使更多跨境驾驶人员享受到“一次排队、集中采集、联动放行”的高效通关服务。
