First of all, you need to make sure that you have valid travel documents, such as a pass to and from Hong Kong and Macao. For mainland residents, the Hong Kong and Macao Pass is a necessary document to go to Hong Kong. You need to apply for this card at the exit-entry administration department of the public security organ where your household registration is located, submit relevant identification documents and photos, and pay the corresponding fees. Upon completion, you will get a pass with your personal information and expiration date on it.
Secondly, according to Hong Kong's entry policy, you may need to apply for an entry permit. For tourists from some countries or regions, it may be necessary to apply for visas or entry permits in advance. You can check the official website of the Hong Kong Immigration Department or consult the relevant agencies to find out whether you need to apply for an entry permit and the specific requirements and procedures of the application.
In addition, before going to Hong Kong, you need to pay attention to the health declaration requirements in Hong Kong. Due to the impact of the global epidemic, Hong Kong may require inbound passengers to make health declarations to monitor and prevent the epidemic. You can learn the latest health declaration requirements at the Hong Kong Department of Health or relevant official website, and fill in and submit relevant information as required.
In addition to the main documents and procedures mentioned above, you need to pay attention to some other things. For example, make sure that your travel documents are within the validity period and keep them properly to prevent them from being lost or damaged. At the same time, understand Hong Kong's entry policies and relevant regulations in advance to ensure smooth entry and compliance with local laws and regulations.
To sum up:
The documents and procedures to be prepared for going to Hong Kong include valid travel documents such as Hong Kong and Macao Pass, entry permit (if necessary), and health declaration. You need to pay attention to Hong Kong's entry policy, health declaration requirements and other related information to ensure the validity and safekeeping of documents.
