Document background
The Declaration Card is a mandatory document required under Hong Kong's immigration law for efficient processing of travelers at ports of entry and exit. It serves multiple purposes including immigration control, security screening, and data collection for border management. The document must be completed by all travelers, regardless of their nationality or purpose of visit, unless specifically exempted. Declaration Cards typically collect information such as personal identification details, travel information, and purpose of visit, with additional sections that may be activated during public health emergencies or special circumstances. The format and content of the Declaration Card are designed to comply with Hong Kong's Immigration Ordinance while facilitating smooth processing at border control points.
