What the Hong Kong visa rules mean for Macau travellers

Macau citizens can enter Hong Kong without a visa and stay for up to 7 days. You only need a valid Macau passport at the border; immigration officers may still ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and enough money for your stay. The 7-day limit usually counts calendar days from your arrival, so book your return flight inside that window.
