What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Macau International Airport
After landing, follow signs to 'Immigration' — don't go to the baggage claim area first. There are separate queues for 'Visitors' and 'Residents'. Join the 'Visitors' line.
2
Present your documents at the counter
Hand over your passport and return ticket (printed or on your phone). The officer will ask a few questions — purpose of visit, length of stay, where you're staying. Answer clearly and briefly.
3
Receive your entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with the entry date and allowed stay duration. Check the stamp before walking away — confirm the dates are correct.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, head to baggage claim, then customs. No arrival declaration form is required for Omanis.
