Introduction

The Southbound Travel for Guangdong Vehicles ("STGV") (entry into urban area) accepts online applications only.  The applications are jointly reviewed and approved by the governments of Guangdong and Hong Kong.  Applicants should first submit their applications and supporting documents to the Mainland authorities for preliminary vetting.  The Transport Department ("TD") will then review the applications upon receipt of the applications, and notify the applicants by the email addresses which they provided during the Mainland application process for carrying out vehicle inspection at designated vehicle inspection centres and completing the procedures for obtaining permits in Hong Kong.
