    Macao: EU/Schengen ordinary-passport 90-day visa and entry-permit exemption

    The current Public Security Police schedule lists these EU/Schengen passport issuers in the 90-day visa-and-entry-permit-exempt cohort.

    • The ordinary-passport stay limit is a maximum of 90 days. It is a short-visit visa and entry-permit exemption, not a work, residence or special-document right.
    • A passport must be valid at least 90 days beyond intended stay. Visitors need onward/return arrangements and means of subsistence as described by the PSP; entry remains subject to refusal grounds and individual immigration control.
    • The result excludes diplomatic/official/service passports, residence cards, transit, crew, extensions and nationality-plus-document exceptions.

    Macao: British ordinary-passport six-month visa and entry-permit exemption

    The Public Security Police schedule expressly gives British citizens holding a British passport a maximum six-month visa-and-entry-permit-exempt stay.

    • This classification is restricted to British citizens holding a British passport; it does not resolve other British statuses or documents.
    • The stated visitor limit is a maximum of six months. Passport validity, onward/return arrangements, funds, refusal grounds and individual immigration control still apply.
    • It excludes work, residence, study, transit, crew, diplomatic/official/service and special-document cases.

    Macao: named ordinary-passport 30-day visa and entry-permit exemptions

    These named nationalities are in the Public Security Police’s current written-exemption list and fall under its otherwise-stated 30-day passport/travel-document visitor limit.

    • The schedule’s default maximum limit for holders of a valid passport or travel document is 30 days where no listed longer or shorter period applies.
    • The written exemption list excludes United States diplomatic passports; this ordinary-passport classification does not apply diplomatic/official/service documents.

    Macao: non-exempt ordinary passports eligible for border-issued Entry Permit

    For these foreign ordinary passports, the current Public Security Police rule supplies an Entry Permit, expressly called visa-upon-arrival, at any border checkpoint; the six expressly advance-visa nationalities and document-specific China/Hong Kong/Macao cases are excluded.

    • The Entry Permit is an Authorization to Enter and Stay, explicitly described by the PSP as visa-upon-arrival, requested at any Border Control Department checkpoint. It is classified as visa on arrival, not eVisa or visa-free.
    • Once approved, the visitor Authorization to Stay is a maximum of 30 days; the current listed individual fee is MOP200 one-off or MOP300 multiple, with stated alternative fees for family passports, children and qualifying groups.
    • A passport must be valid at least 90 days beyond intended stay. Onward/return arrangements, means of subsistence, security/admissibility and entry-refusal grounds remain applicable; advance authorization or a Macao visa are alternative procedures, not a nationality-wide electronic route.
    • This policy excludes Bangladesh, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Vietnam, which the PSP expressly requires to obtain an advance Macao visa; it also does not flatten Mainland China, Hong Kong or Macao passport/document arrangements.

    Macao: six named ordinary passports requiring advance Macao visa

    The current Public Security Police guidance expressly requires visitors from these six countries to obtain a Macao visa in advance through a Chinese embassy or consulate.

    • The advance visa is applied for through a Chinese embassy or consulate. The ordinary border Entry Permit route is not available to this named cohort.
    • The source does not establish an eVisa route, duration, fee, entry count or any work, residence, study, transit, crew, diplomatic/official/service or special-document exception for them.
    • Passport validity, onward/return arrangements, funds, security/admissibility and entry-refusal conditions still apply at actual entry.
