Macau Visa
Do I Need a Visa for Macau?
No. A visa is not required for tourist travel to Macau, but your trip may not last more than 30 days. Be aware that if you depart Macau and then immediately re-enter, you should expect to be permitted to stay for fewer than 30 days on the second visit. Although no visa is required for travel to Macau, a visa is required for travel to China for all trip purposes. If you plan to visit mainland China during your trip, you must have the proper visa. Be sure to work with a travel document expert to be sure your China visa permits the proper number of entries based on the side trips you have planned. Although you do not need a visa, you will need a passport to enter Macau, and the passport must not expire for at least 30 days after your planned departure date from Macau.
