Hong Kong Resident in Iran Receives Assistance from Immigration Department Amid Regional Unrest

Amidst the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, a Hong Kong resident currently in Iran has sought assistance from the Immigration Department. The individual reached out to the department in order to obtain crucial flight information. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the Immigration Department promptly provided the necessary details and initiated communication with various diplomatic channels, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, as well as the Chinese Embassies in Iran and Israel, to comprehensively assess the situation.

The Immigration Department has assured the Hong Kong resident of continued support and communication, offering guidance regarding travel and flight details. To ensure further follow-up, the case has been escalated to the Chinese Embassy in Iran.

In light of the ongoing conflict, the Security Bureau of Hong Kong has issued a red alert advising against non-essential travel to Iran and Israel. It urges Hong Kong residents in the region to exercise vigilance and avoid areas of demonstrations or large gatherings. The advisory specifically cautions against travel to regions bordering Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan, as well as the Sistan and Baluchestan province adjacent to Pakistan, due to the heightened risks.

For Hong Kong citizens who require assistance while abroad, the Immigration Department's 24-hour hotline provided by the Assistance to Hong Kong Residents Unit is available. This service aims to offer timely aid and ensure the safety of Hong Kong nationals facing emergencies in foreign territories.
