China renews multiple-entry visas for Shenzhen residents to Hong Kong

The new policy allows for stays of up to seven days per visit, with multiple-entry visas valid for one year. This change reinstates a multiple-entry system tightened in 2015 when Shenzhen residents were restricted to visiting Hong Kong only once a week. The stricter policy was introduced to address concerns in Hong Kong over traders making multiple daily trips to take advantage of lower taxes by purchasing goods for resale on the mainland.
