The T8 Signal is the Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal No. 8 issued by the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO). It signifies that severe gale or storm force winds are affecting, or are expected to affect, the area. This warning is issued when wind speeds reach a significant level and is typically followed by the closure of schools and a recommendation for companies to be flexible with their employees.
Indonesian citizens who need to process passport renewals can still use their existing booking codes until October 19, 2025.
Furthermore, the KJRI Hong Kong advises WNI to postpone all document processing at the KJRI Hong Kong Liaison Office in Macau until the situation is completely safe.
In case of an emergency, the public can contact Macau emergency numbers 999/110/112, the KJRI Hong Kong hotline at (852) 5242 2240, or the KJRI Hong Kong panic button at (852) 6773 0466. []
