The regular quotas for Hong Kong private and company drivers to cross into Macau via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) will increase by 1,000 starting from the second quarter of this year.
The Transport Department announced on Thursday that the governments of Hong Kong and Macau have agreed to increase the regular quotas to a total of 2,800 to enhance traffic flow between the two places and better utilize the HZMB.
Since the commissioning of the HZMB, the Department has allocated 1,800 Hong Kong quotas. The additional 1,000 quotas will be distributed in two phases from the second quarter of 2023, with 500 to be allocated for company applicants and 500 for individual applicants.
The quotas are valid for no more than three years. If the number of applications exceeds the specified number of quotas, balloting will be carried out to determine the order of applications to be processed.
The eligibility criteria of quota applications remain the same.
The company quota is open to companies registered in both Hong Kong and Macau, or companies registered in Hong Kong and associated with another company registered in Macau.
The quota for individuals is open to Hong Kong permanent residents employed with remuneration in Macau or who have established a registered company in Macau.
