The Guangdong Security Department has announced that SAR residents can apply for their residence permit at 386 locations in Guangdong province.
Every qualified SAR resident can bring relevant documents to these locations to apply for a residence permit in mainland China. The process reportedly takes 20 days, upon which time applicants can retrieve their residence permits.
Earlier this month, the State Council Information Office issued a new regulation allowing residents of Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan to apply for residential permits in mainland China.
A document issued at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office said that the regulation, to be promulgated later by the State Council General Office, will take effect from September 1.
With a residential permit, residents from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan will enjoy more rights, basic public services and other conveniences on the mainland, relating to their study, work, business operation and living, the document reads.
