为有序恢复中外人员往来，自2021年3月15日起，中国外交部驻香港特别行政区特派员公署将对已经接种中国生产的新冠肺炎疫苗，并持疫苗接种证明材料的以下签证申请人提供便利：

（一）赴华从事各领域复工复产活动的外籍人员及其家属，可按照新冠疫情前的要求准备材料并递交申请，即无需提供省级外事、商务部门或央企的《邀请函（PU）》、《邀请函（TE）》及《邀请核实单》。

（二）适度扩大因“紧急人道主义需要”赴华人员签证审发范围。适用人群：中国公民或永久居民的外籍家庭成员，包括配偶、父母、子女和其他共同生活的近亲属（指兄弟姐妹、祖父母、外祖父母、孙子女、外孙子女）。赴华事由：家庭团聚、赡养、探亲、来华奔丧或探望危重病亲属。符合上述条件者，可递交签证申请。

（三）持有效APEC商务旅行卡人员，可凭有效APEC商务旅行卡及中国内地邀请单位出具的邀请函，申请办理商贸类签证。

请注意，以上相关便利仅适用于已经接种中国生产的新冠肺炎疫苗（接种中国生产的疫苗并按规定时间间隔打完2针或接种中国生产单针疫苗后满14天），并持疫苗接种证明材料的签证申请人，在递交申请时不再需要提供核酸检测阴性证明和《过去14天旅行轨迹和健康申报表》。其他申请人仍需按外交部驻香港特别行政区特派员公署2021年2月9日更新发布的《外交部驻香港公署疫情期间签证申办须知》及《疫情期间在香港申请中国签证您可能关心的26个问题》执行。

In view of resuming people-to-people exchanges between China and other countries in an orderly manner, starting from 15 March 2021, the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China in the HKSAR will provide the following facilitation for visa applicants who have been inoculated with COVID-19 vaccines produced in China and obtained the vaccination certificate:

1. Foreign nationals and their family members visiting the mainland of China for resuming work and production in various fields need only to provide the documents required before the COVID-19 pandemic when applying for a visa. The Invitation Letter (PU), Invitation Letter (TE) or Invitation Verification Notice issued by the foreign affairs offices or the departments of commerce of the provincial (including autonomous regions and municipalities) governments or the headquarters of central state-owned enterprises are no longer required.

2. The scope of applicants eligible for applying for a visa out of emergency humanitarian needs will be expanded as appropriate. Foreign family members of Chinese citizens or permanent residents of China, including spouse, parents, children and other close relatives living together (referring to siblings, grandparents and grandchildren), may submit visa applications for the purposes of reuniting with family, taking care of the elderly, visiting relatives, attending funerals or visiting critically ill relatives.

3. Holders of valid APEC business travel cards may apply for the M visa by presenting the original valid APEC business travel card and the invitation letter issued by the inviting party in the mainland of China.

Please be noted that the above-mentioned visa facilitation applies only to applicants who have been inoculated with COVID-19 vaccines produced in China (either having received two doses of Chinese-made vaccines with the stipulated gap in between, or having received a single-dose Chinese-made vaccine at least 14 days prior to the application) and obtained the vaccination certificate. A proof of a negative COVID-19 nucleic acid test result and the Health and Travel Record Declaration Form for Visa Application are no longer required.

Other applicants should still follow the visa procedure as stated in the Notice on Updated Requirements for Chinese Visa Application During Covid-19 Pandemic issued on 9 February 2021, and 26 Q&As about Applying for Chinese Visa in Hong Kong SAR During the COVID-19 Pandemic posted on the official website of the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China in the HKSAR.
