Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for at least the full 90-day stay in Macau. Airlines at departure may enforce a 6-month validity rule — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Macau | Immigration officers at Macau International Airport routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready — they check this before stamping you in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Macau. Officers rarely ask, but having it ready avoids delays at the counter. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Have bank statements or cash showing you can cover your expenses — around 500 MOP per day is a safe benchmark. Officers almost never ask, but budget airlines may request proof at check-in. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Macau, not from your departure date. Double-check before you fly.
No visa needed for 2026
