It is frequently paired with tickets or travel documents. While it functions as a noun, it is most commonly used as a modifier before nouns like 飛 or 證.

Exit-Entry Permit for Travelling to and from Hong Kong and Macau

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with the term 雙程證, which specifically refers to the Exit-Entry Permit for Travelling to and from Hong Kong and Macau used by mainland Chinese residents. Using 雙程 alone in a political or immigration context might be misinterpreted as referring to this specific permit.
