ID usage

Hong Kong West Kowloon Station features a "Co-location arrangement": Entry and exit procedures for both the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong are completed within the same station (Level B2 is the Chinese mainland port area, and Level B3 is the Hong Kong port area). Eligible passengers may use the self-service e-channels. The ID used for booking must match the one used for boarding. Passengers can scan their Chinese mainland ID card, Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macau Residents, Entry-Exit Permit for Hong Kong and Macau, or Residence Permit to enter and exit the gates directly. No paper tickets are required. Passport holders must use the staff-assisted counters for verification. The name on your booking must exactly match your ID. We recommend arriving at the station 60–90 minutes before departure.

Currency exchange

Chinese mainland residents can exchange CNY for HK$ at Bank of China, ICBC, and other bank branches using their ID. International passengers can exchange HK$ for CNY, JPY for HK$, GBP for HK$, and other currencies at BOCHK, HSBC, Hang Seng, or city exchange shops (e.g., around Chungking Mansions and Mong Kok). Exchange rates in the city are generally better than at the airport. After clearing customs, you can use WeChat or Alipay linked to foreign cards for QR code payments. You can also top up your Octopus with AlipayHK and WeChat Pay HK.
