Hong Kong will start accepting applications on Wednesday for 1,400 regular cross-border private car quotas for travel across the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, as authorities move to further facilitate travel between Zhuhai and the two special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macao.
The quota pool includes 900 newly added slots available for first-time applicants, with all Hong Kong permanent residents and registered companies eligible to apply.
The previous arrangement restricted those eligible to apply to individuals and firms with verified employment or business ties in Macao.
Vehicles granted quotas can enter and exit Macao via the bridge without restrictions, with the scheme expected to take effect as early as July 13. All quotas will be valid for a period of three years and will expire on July 12, 2029.
Officials said the move reflects the government’s commitment to advancing integration within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
