Question:
At which ports are the joint inspection automated channels (joint express inspection channels) installed? Who are eligible to use the channels?
Answer:
Currently, the Qingmao Port, the Hengqin Port and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Port (Zhuhai-Macao Passenger Clearance Hall) are installed with joint inspection automated channels (joint express inspection channels) for persons who are eligible to use them.

[Notes on Use of Channel]
These joint inspection automated channels are specially set up to streamline the document inspection procedures of both the Zhuhai/Hengqin and Macao immigration departments and to enhance immigration clearance efficiency. Passengers using these channels must give consent to have the personal information on their identification document and the biometric data collected on site transmitted to the inspection systems of Zhuhai/Hengqin and Macao respectively for instant comparison. If you have any questions, please make enquiries to the police constables on site.
