Residence 228, Immigration service center in Hong Kong, China
Residence 228 is an administrative building in Hong Kong that handles travel document processing for Taiwan residents seeking mainland access permits. The facility processes applications and provides the necessary paperwork that visitors need to submit for their requests.
This facility was established in 1992 as a formal point for cross-strait travel document services. Its opening represented a structured approach to managing resident travel authorization between the two regions.
The center processes Taiwan Resident Travel Permits, which allow holders unrestricted access to mainland China for work, study, and personal purposes.
Visitors should bring valid identification documents, photographs, and completed application forms to submit their requests. Processing typically takes around seven working days, so be prepared for standard office processing timeframes.
Each permit issued here receives a permanent identification number that remains unchanged throughout the holder's lifetime. These numbers serve to track and authenticate travel documents over many years.
