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.
