Macau visa and entry requirements

Macao’s Public Security Police says your passport or travel document should be valid for at least 90 days beyond the period of your intended stay in Macao.

No official source we read lists a vaccination certificate required for entry.

No official source we could read states a travel insurance requirement for Macao.

Visitors must hold a valid onward or return ticket, unless they can prove they live in mainland China or Hong Kong; that exemption does not apply to Chinese or Hong Kong SAR passport holders transiting Macao to another country or region.

Visitors must be able to show means of subsistence for their stay: at least MOP 5,000 for up to 7 days, MOP 10,000 for up to 14 days, MOP 15,000 for up to 21 days and MOP 20,000 for longer stays.

Fine: 500 MOP per day, at most 15,000 MOP

An overstay beyond the authorised period is fined MOP 500 to 800 for each full day or part of a day, up to MOP 15,000. An overstay without a justified reason that is not the non-resident's fault leads, in addition to expulsion, to an entry ban. The ban is at least one year, or as long as the overstay if it was over a year, when the person reported to the authorities voluntarily, and double that otherwise. The ban does not apply when the overstay is 30 days or less and the person is not a repeat offender, provided they pay the minimum fine immediately when they report or are detected.

Accommodation operators must record the check-in and check-out of guests, and of companions over 16, who do not hold a Macao resident identity card, a special stay permit or a non-resident worker card. They must send these records and the guests' identity data to the Public Security Police (CPSP) within 24 hours. They must refuse lodging to an occupant who does not provide the data or objects to its processing. Failing to meet these duties, or meeting them incorrectly, incompletely, falsely or late, is fined MOP 5,000 to 15,000.

If not done: Failing to record or send the data, or doing so incorrectly, incompletely, falsely or late: fine of MOP 5,000 to 15,000.

Macao Customs says arriving travellers carrying cash or bearer negotiable instruments (such as traveller’s cheques, cheques and money orders) worth MOP 120,000 or more must declare them to customs officers, fill in a declaration and use the red channel. On departure, declare truthfully if a customs officer asks. Transit passengers stopping briefly in Macao do not need to declare.

• Macao Customs says passengers entering Macao may bring goods for their own use without a customs declaration as long as they do not exceed the quantities in its table, which include 19 cigarettes, 1 cigar (of no more than 3 g), 25 g of leaf tobacco and 1 litre of drinks over 30% alcohol by volume.
• Canada’s travel advice says it is prohibited to import, export or distribute e-cigarettes, vaporizers and their refills in Macao, and that convicted offenders can expect heavy fines.
