The Immigration Department has reviewed the fees according to “cost recovery” and “user pays” principles. They have emphasised that the increased fee will have little impact on most people’s daily expenses and general business activities; however, it will have a significant impact on foreign travellers. The amendments to the fee revision will be discussed at the Legislative Council for negative vetting on July 2, 2025, and once the necessary procedure is completed, will roll out by September 8, 2025.
