Entry requirements

Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date you enter Macau. Airlines check this before boarding — if you're short, you won't fly.
No visa, but have proof of onward travel
Even though you don't need a visa, immigration officers often ask for a return or onward ticket. Keep a printed copy or screenshot on your phone.
