What the Macau visa rules mean for Saudi Arabia travellers

Saudi Arabia citizens can enter Macau without a visa and stay for up to 30 days. You only need a valid Saudi Arabia 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 30-day limit usually counts calendar days from your arrival, so book your return flight inside that window.

Documents to prepare

Whatever your visa status, Macau applies the same entry conditions to every traveller:

  • Passport validity: Macao’s Public Security Police says your passport or travel document should be valid for at least 90 days beyond the period of your intended stay in Macao.
  • Travel insurance: No official source we could read states a travel insurance requirement for Macao.
  • Return or onward ticket: Visitors must hold a valid onward or return ticket, unless they can prove they live in mainland China or Hong Kong; that exemption does not apply to Chinese or Hong Kong SAR passport holders transiting Macao to another …
  • Proof of funds: Visitors must be able to show means of subsistence for their stay: at least MOP 5,000 for up to 7 days, MOP 10,000 for up to 14 days, MOP 15,000 for up to 21 days and MOP 20,000 for longer stays.

Registration after arrival

24 hours

Accommodation operators must record the check-in and check-out of guests, and of companions over 16, who do not hold a Macao resident identity card, a special stay permit or a non-resident worker card. They must send these records and the guests' identity data to the Public Security Police (CPSP) within 24 hours. They must refuse lodging to an occupant who does not provide the data or objects to its processing. Failing to meet these duties, or meeting them incorrectly, incompletely, falsely or late, is fined MOP 5,000 to 15,000.

Overstay penalties

MOP 500

An overstay beyond the authorised period is fined MOP 500 to 800 for each full day or part of a day, up to MOP 15,000. An overstay without a justified reason that is not the non-resident's fault leads, in addition to expulsion, to an entry ban. The ban is at least one year, or as long as the overstay if it was over a year, when the person reported to the authorities voluntarily, and double that otherwise. The ban does not apply when the overstay is 30 days or less and the person is not a repeat offender, provided they pay the minimum fine immediately when they report or are detected.
