[Explanation] January 1st is the first day for Macao motor vehicles to officially enter Guangdong under the "Macao Vehicles Going Northward".

The first batch of 8 Macau single-plate motor vehicles entered the country smoothly through the Zhuhai Highway Port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.

　　At zero o'clock that day, many vehicles were queuing up for inspection at the passenger vehicle inspection site at the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Zhuhai Highway Port.

Zheng Yingyao, a Macao resident, immediately applied for and made an appointment to enter the country on January 1 after the announcement of the policy of "Macao cars traveling northward". .

　　Now basically every Macao person, as long as he has a domestic driver's license, can apply for this "Macau car going north", so we Macao people are also looking forward to this policy.

　　The vehicle inspection process of "Australia Car North" is convenient and fast. The owner only needs to complete the vehicle body inspection, swipe the verification document, pass fingerprint comparison and face recognition, and then complete the customs clearance procedures. This process takes less than one minute.

　　[Explanation] A number of Macau car owners said that there are no restrictions on investment and taxation. As long as the application meets the corresponding requirements, they can generally get a place.

This has opened up a wider and smoother channel for the exchange of vehicles and people between the two places.

This is also an important step in the integrated development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

　　This time I intend to go back to my hometown in Guangdong, and take a trip along the way. I didn’t expect to be able to drive a single-license car to travel in Guangdong Province. This policy is very good. It made us feel the country’s support for Macau, and our hearts are closer to the motherland.

　　[Explanation] According to reports, since December 20, 2022, since the "Australian car going north" policy accepted applications, 100% of the drivers and vehicles that have gone through the filing procedures have achieved automatic online registration without leaving home.

In the early stage of the implementation of the "Australian car going north" policy, it is estimated that the traffic volume will increase by more than 1,000 vehicles per day.

　　According to statistics from the Zhuhai General Inspection Station of the National Immigration Administration, more than 10,000 private car owners in Macau have applied for the "North Going" qualification, and it is expected that more than 80,000 Macau residents will enjoy the policy bonus in the long run.
