Security and Business Continuity Department of the Airport
Authority.

Management Director for the day to day management of Visitor
Pass processing matters.

3.6.5 Visitor Pass no longer required should be returned directly
to the Permit Office for cancellation. The use of Visitor
Pass relies heavily on the individual Sponsoring
Organization concerned exercising a high degree of selfregulation over their escorting staff. Any abuse of the
system, including the non-return of Visitor Pass after expiry,
may result in the loss of the Sponsoring Organization status
concerned and the suspension of issue of Visitor Pass to
the individual concerned.
3.6.6 Sponsoring Organizations should ensure that all details
recorded on the application forms are accurate and correct.
Particular attention is drawn to spelling of names for Visitor
Pass applicants. They should correspond with those

and VIP reception, Special Visitor Passes could be made

Visitor Pass is also subject to the Conditions of Issue (Ref:
AOS/P/20) made by the Airport Management Director.
3.7.2 Differences between normal Visitor Pass and Special
Visitor Pass:
a) Instead of applicant’s photograph on the normal Visitor
Pass, partial information of his / her HKID Card no. or

Visitor Pass. A specimen is shown in Attachment 3A.
