Immigration Service Ordinance
The Immigration Service Ordinance is Chapter 331 of Hong Kong's Ordinances. It was introduced in 1961 as Cap 30 to create the Immigration Department (Hong Kong) which was previously under the control of Hong Kong Police Force since the 1940s.[1]
The Ordinance also resulted in the transfer of Registration of Persons Ordinance 1949 and role of Commissioner of Registration from the Hong Kong Police to Immigration Department.
