Anyone enroll into this service to be enable to use the automated custom clearance? Is it easy to enroll?
yup, apply at the counter after the immigration counters, before the auto door out to retrieve luggage
done in less than 10mins, fill up a form, take your fingerprint and passport for verification
Yup will be counted. You can use on your return trip and beat that irritating long queue there every timethis coming trip will be my 3rd trip in a year, not sure is it counted based on the criteria.
- Has made visits to the HKSAR via the Hong Kong International Airport for no fewer than 3 times in the past 12 months immediately before enrolment for the e-Channel service
so once registered with e-channel so the trip return I will be able to use the automated clearance?

No luck, 3rd time there but the e-channel staff say need to be at least 4 times than can enroll.
no less than 3 times = 4th time than counted. sad...
Didn't know foreigners are eligble for it. Thought only the Chinese and Hong Kong residents can apply for it.
don't you have a frequent flyer card?
a few years ago, i showed them my cathay's marco polo card and got myself enrolled on my 1st visit.

I don't have any frequent flyer card of any airline, or PPS from SIA which they have suggest, I purely make up for the number of trips to apply for it. Just 1 more and I am eligible. The return trip really can use for this e-channel service, the queue to clear immigrations is damn long, at least 30min for me while I see those using e-channel zipping pass so comfortably. Still pondering whether to make another trip by next month end if I gonna qualify for it hmmm....
isn't getting a frequent flyer card easier than making 4 trips? if you had a card, you could have avoided queueing for your first 4 trips.
how to get the frequent flyer card, u mean from which airline? there's only pps I know which I don't think I qualify or am I wrong?
any frequent flyer. just to go any full service airline like cx and register.
