Postcard | #25 Home Return Permit

These booklets were considered inconvenient, because they were relatively cumbersome to carry around. Furthermore, the booklets were also found to be inefficient because they could only be used at manned border crossing checkpoints where an entry stamp would be placed by an immigration official. Frequent border crossing residents, such as lorry drivers, were required to replace the booklet every few months due to the lack of pages for entry and exit stamps. The booklets were eventually phased out in 1999. https://imgur.com/KqLpKcj.jpg A permit for Hong Kong and Macao residents only https://imgur.com/FO7NGP2.jpg Special texture of leather paper - / Details / Size : 105mm x 140mm Ingredient : 300GSM Leather Paper -
