Using your Australian passport in Hong Kong’s e-Channel lanes
Mar 15, 2023, 02:49 PMWorth noting that you can only enrol one passport (maybe that’s obvious?) - in November I turned up and had forgotten my UK passport, which has my eChannel barcode on it.

Losing Platinum Status
Jan 10, 2023, 01:37 AMThis makes no sense - WP for 10 years is 1400x1+1200x9 as a minimum = 12,200; LTG is 14,000, you should be no more than 1,800 away surely?

Borders getting tighter
Aug 20, 2021, 10:48 PMI am hoping this latest situation finally puts a lid on this ridiculous notion that zero is achievable. Just need to get McGowan to take his rose tinted spectacles off now.
