Visa-free for 90 days

Macao’s Public Security Police exempts nationals of 88 listed countries from a visa. Holders of a valid passport get a stay of a maximum of 30 days unless its table lists otherwise: 90 days for EU and Schengen passports and some others, 14 days for Brunei and Kazakhstan, 3 months for Cyprus, Israel, Lebanon and New Zealand, and 6 months for British citizens holding a British passport. Visitors who are not exempt can apply for an Entry Permit (visa-upon-arrival) at the border checkpoints on arrival, but visitors from Bangladesh, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Vietnam must apply for a Macao visa in advance through a Chinese embassy or consulate.
