Individual Visit Scheme

The Individual Visit Scheme is a program that allows people from certain places to visit other places without having to be part of a tour group. It's like playing a game of tag with your friends, but instead of all going together, one person can go ahead and visit first and then the others can come later.

This program is for people who live in certain places, like China, and want to visit specific places, like Hong Kong, Macao, or Taiwan. Before this program, people from these places had to go in a tour group if they wanted to visit these places. But now, they can go by themselves or with their family, and they don't have to be part of a tour group to do it.

It's like having a really cool pass that lets you visit a place without always having to ask a grown-up to come with you. Of course, there are rules that people have to follow, like getting a permit and staying for a certain amount of time, but it's a lot easier than it used to be. With the Individual Visit Scheme, people can explore new places and have fun adventures on their own.
