Macao Eases Entry Restrictions! Check the Requirements!

Good news! Starting from Tuesday, foreigners meeting certain requirements are allowed to enter Macao from the Chinese mainland. Let's check the details! 

According to Executive Order No.43/2021, foreigners meeting certain requirements are now permitted to enter Macao from the Chinese mainland. The measures became effective from March 16. 

REQUIREMENTS

To be allowed to enter Macao, foreigners need to meet the following requirements: 

• They must hold a Chinese visa issued by the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China in the Macao SAR, and must return to Macao from the Chinese mainland within the visa’s validity period; and 
• They must not have been to any place outside either the mainland or Macao in the 21 days prior to their intended arrival in Macao. 

ELIGIBLE SCOPE OF APPLICANTS

Under existing rules, there are additionally two groups of foreigners eligible to apply for approval to enter Macao. 

The first group eligible for consideration for entry are foreigners wishing to visit Macao for the following matters: 

• Serve Macao’s public interest, particularly ones relating to disease prevention and control, and emergency rescue; 
• Ensure the proper operation of public services in the community; and of meeting the basic day-to-day needs of the Macao public. 

The second group eligible for consideration are those foreigners arriving via the mainland and who have stayed on the mainland for 21 days or more, immediately prior to their planned arrival in Macao. Such people may apply to the authorities for entry on the following grounds: 

• They are either a spouse or child of a Macao resident;
