Hong Kong passport control closing time?

I'm looking to go into town and come back on one of the latest airport express trains. I am wondering if anyone knows what time security/passport control closes? I'd like to come back around midnight to 1am and go to one of the 24 hour lounges until my flight.

I think they do not close at all. At least there are plenty of flight that depart till 2 a.m. So midnite should not be a problem at all.

Might be stating the obvious but I assume you'll have your onward boarding pass (or be able to get it once back at the airport).

They do close, but very late. For today's schedule, last passenger flight is at at 2:20a (KA to Busan).

They must also open quite early, being closed only a very small number of hours. They're certain to be open whenever the Airport Express is operating.

HK Express has a 4:30a flight to Phuket on some days. So, passport control may actually not closed until very very late.

Otherwise, first flights are usually at 6:55a. HK Airlines to XMN and Scoot to SIN. Passport control and security probably reopens at around 5:30a. Which is before Airport Express for sure. There are "N" buses that arrives HKG throughout the night.

Few years ago I was catching the flight after watching Harry Porter from 12am (finished at 3am), head to the airport and Security opens at 05:30am

For closing, it close around gate close for final flight of the day (i.e. normally ~2am)
