Get a China visa in Macau

If you travel to China and think about getting a China visa, consider stopping by Macau, the former Portugal colony. The city has a China Travel Service agency at the city centre, which can process a 90-day single-entry China visa for you within one day, for only HK$240 (about 24 euro). But be sure to hand in your application before 10:30am and you will get the visa at about 6pm the same day.

It is possible that you apply for a double-entry China visa in Macau. But you will have to wait until the following day, for HK$340 (about 34 euro).

Do not expect to have a half-day express service, though the agency’s website says so.

And remember that there is also a China Travel Service agency at the macau ferry pier, but it does not handle China visa applications. You must go to the one in the city centre. Bring the money and a photo, fill in a form, and you will have the visa.

Address of China Travel Services (Macau) in the city centre:

Avenida do Dr. Rodrigo Rodrigues, nºs 223-225, Edifício Nam Kuong, 1º andar “A” e 12º andar “A”, Macau

Tel: (853) 2870 0888; Website: http://www.ctsmacau.com ( unfortunately, mostly in Chinese only)

To view the China visa web page of China Travel Services (Macau), click here.

Hong Kong is also a good place for foreigners to get a China visa, but not as good as Macau. If you go to the many China Travel Service centres across the territory for a China visa, it takes normally 3 days, and you can get a one-month visa only. You have to show that you have been to China (such as a China visa stamped on your passport) in order to get a 3-month visa.

Well, there are a lot more flights to Hong Kong from different parts of the world. It is true that it is more convenient for you to stop by Hong Kong than Macau. But going to Macau from Hong Kong is convenient (one-hour ferry journey). You can also directly leave Macau for China – there are frequent daily buses going to Guangzhou from Macau.

What is the situation now during the Covid epidemic (august 2020)? Are visas for China such as family reunion visas (S2 for 3 months for example) possible at this moment in macao? I have been for 8 months in mainland china and did not travel anywhere during this period and as i understand, therefore i can enter macao, they only require you to have a covid-test when entering).

Hongkong’s visa application center is closed at this moment so macau is an option. Appreciate any information about the current situation for china visas in Macau. thanks.

Hi, I’ve checked this out already, but I want to make sure if I’ve got it right before I actually hit the road. Canadian citizen/passport, planning to fly from Bangkok to Macau with no prearranged visa, apply for same-day Chinese tourist visa at an agent in Macau (probably CTS-China Travel Services), will download, print and prepare the application beforehand and arrive with money and a few passport photos. Then I’m going onward to Shanghai, probably by bus to Gungzhao and train to Shanghai, unless a ferry is an option. Just looking for the least complicated and least expensive option.

HELP!!!!

Hello, I’ve heard they are no longer issuing Chinese visas in HK on the same day, Can a British citizen still get a visa on the same day in Macau?

Dear Anna,

I’m Turkish, Is there any changes for applying L visa to china these days? Because I have just informed that HK will not give visa to foreigners who is not residing or working in HK anymore

http://www.fmcoprc.gov.hk/eng/zgqz/bgfwxx/default.htm

Is this policy same for Macau or not???

When I arrive to macau on 21th April, may I apply Visa to China for one month with your agent?

BR

think you should go to the china visa office again and show your ticket, asking for longer time visa. it is not advisable to extend it in china, as your stay is so short.

Hi Anna,
I am Malaysian, already planning travel to China on July for 6 days. But recently China visa office has change the L visa from 30 days stay to 5 days for applying on July. I just wondering that can I extended my visa one more day during the applying or have to extend after arrival in China? I can’t change my flight ticket and I really don’t know what to do?

Note: Not all nationalities can use the China Travel Service in Macao. Some are required to apply directly at the People’s Republic of CHina visa office (a government building with the PRC’s emblem rather than the Macao emblem). As an American I have to apply there. I also saw many people from African countries there.

Hi Anna,
Iam a Malaysian usually for us to get multiple F Visa entry 6months is not a problem, but now it seem the visa department had change they don’t issue any multiple F Visa anymore to Malaysian, i will like to know Anna can your company do 3months or 6months Multiple F Visa????
pls advise

Hi,

I want to know if Indian & Russian passport holders can get visa for macau at the macau airport if we fly in? I read somewhere that we need to get visas and many websites write that we can get visas at the airport immigration but for a fee? Can you please confirm this? Thanks a lot Anna.

Regds,

Hi there and thanks for your page quite helpful i have to say.
I’d like to know how long it takes to make a F visa in Macau, considering the fact i’ll be flying from Taiwan to Macau on monday morning (11am) and fly back to China on tuesday evening. Is that enough to make it done ?
Actually, i kinda need it to be done so guess i’ll have to pray for it. ^^

Thanks a lot for your informations and help.

Bless !

Anna, I think you have misunderstood my question …. My future employer is helping me out for everything that is needed to be done in china for the Z Visa … but according to them, and according to govt. offices here we need to leave china with the visa documents and get Z visa from another country ( many people get it from HK ) … but a lot of people also told me that I dont need to leave china and I can get it from here itself ….. since I cannot go to HK ( Russian passport ) I want to know if I Can get it from macau?

Best regds… Soni

I wonder why your future employer in China is not helping you. They should know. In major china cities, there is govt office you can go to for sorting out visa issues (student visa, business visa and work visa). If they don’t know where the office is, they can enquire.

Anna, Thanks for answering me! … So you mean even after I get my work visa papers I can get my work visa from China itself? I dont need to leave the country to get one?

Nigerian, marry to chinese from hebei, but we base in guangzhou, my visa f type, when i go for extation, they require L type, How do i get L visa in macou ?

Hi there again…. Just found out on the net that russian passport holder cannot even enter Macau… so now I want to know whether if she has a good reason ( work visa ) then can she enter HK/Macau or do we need to get a visa for HK/Macau from shanghai first?

Hi Anna,

Thanks for this great service that you are offering to help people with the visa questions… really appreciate it.

I ( Indian passport ) & my wife ( Russian passport ) are in China right now on business visas… we will be getting the work permit in a couple of months or so and then have to leave china to obtain the Z-Visa … my question is that can we get it from Macau? Since my wife’s got a russian passport she cannot enter HK Without a visa and we would like to avoid making a long trip to India or some other place. Any other suggestions would be very appreciated!

Thanks,

Nrupesh Soni
P.S. You can email me if possible

There is no china visa service at the China-macau border. You have to enter macau. Suggest you take bus to macau from guangzhou.

Hi Anna!
My viza (F type) expires next week. I need 1 month extension, so I can apply for Z viza. Do they make extension at the China-Macau boarder, without entering Macau? At which boarder point? I’m in Guangzhou now, probably will take bus to Macau. Or through Shenzhen by ferry. Which way do you consider to be better? Thanks!

Onarej, You cannot change your tourist visa into a work or study visa, just like that, obviously. You need your new company to help get you the work visa.

Chidi mike, you need an invitation letter only if you apply for a study visa/business visa.

hi, i have a problem. im working in china for 2 yrs. and i dicided to resined bec. i found a new job in china and i use z visa for 2 yrs. But when i transfer to another city the preveous company cancelled my z visa and they transfer it into L. is it possible to change my L visa into F or Z.? Please advice, thanks

Mila, I advise that you call the china travel agent in macau (tel:853-7998117) or the china govt representative office in macau to check if it is possible.

Dear Anna,

According to new regularities you must obtain Z visa (working) not in China mainland. Can I get it in Macao? (necessary documents will be with me)

Thank you

Mila

Hello.

I hold a russian passport. I have previously been on a one year student visa while studying in GZ. I would now like to continue staying here to do some business. Can i get a long term visa through ur agency in macau. ie. 1 year or 6 month multiple entry visa I think called an F visa. How much will that cost and take to process?

thanks!

hi john2008, if u want to get a work visa, u must have this sorted out in mainland china, not in macau or hk.

raul, if u have already one china visa in your passport, it is always easy to get another one. should have no problem that u get one in macau.

bieke wuttke, the detail of getting a china visa is explained in my post. so i am not going into details of it. but pls be reminded that you don’t normally be given a 6 month china visa.

Hi Anna,

I’am from Cameroon, I have been in China for the past three months.
I wanted to apply for an expert permit, but failed the medical examination (siphylis). I extended the F visa I got in my country once.I got the current one in Macao, it has not yet been extended.I don’t have the means to go back to my country, what do you advise me? Can I extend my current F visa here in China and for how long at most? If yes, what is the cost? To get a work visa, I’am required to pass the health examination out of China said one of my colleagues, can I pass it in Macau after I’am cured?

Thanks

This depends on if it is your first time to China. If yes, then most likely you can only have a 30-day visa, even if you apply in Macau. If you want to stay in china for half a year, you have to go in and go out and go in China again.

Im a Malaysian and I’m planning to visit my friend who is working in China next month. Im planning to stay in China for at least half a year. However in Malaysia, we can only get a 30 days visa. May I know what’s the longest duration of days for China visa i can get in Macau? I’m not working. Should get a L or F Visa? Is there any other documents except photo that i need to furnish to the officer? Please advice. Thanks.

no you cannot get the china visa at the airport. you can get it through the china travel service agent in tsim sha tsui, within a day. but don’t think you can make your flight by 6pm.

what about receiving the visa from China travelagency booth at the airport? i am currently in taiwan and it will not be feasible to go to india to get the visa and go visit China.. please suggest another alternative.

Hello, sir/ Madam

I am from Nepal and now in china as a student . I want to travel Macau. For that where can I get the visa and is it difficult to get. If I get it , for how long it will be. please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks.

i hold indian passport.. if i am to get chinese visa in one day at the hk airport…is it possible for me to catch a 6pm flight if i drop my application before 11 am.

Hi Cindy. Going to hong kong and taiwan won’t need a visa – well, you need a visa but you will be given one at the border – and i suppose that you hold a us or european passport.

for going to mainland china, every foreigner will need to apply for and have a china visa before they can enter the country. that means that you can’t get a visa at the border. you must have one already before you arrive at the border.

Hi Anna,

I recently am going to study in HKU and have obtained a HK visa. My friend said in order to travel to mainland China I will need a China Visa. However, my other friend that backpacked in Asia summer of 2007 said he never had a Visa, and he went to HK and Taiwan for 3 weeks. He told me you don’t need a China Visa if you stay there under a certain amount of days. Now I am confused–do I need one or not? I don’t plan on staying anywhere in China for more than a week while traveling.

Hello,

Will you pls send us a address of these egency in macau where to apply a F visa.
I come from macau last week but they say that they are not giving now more than 30days visa to stay in China.. all is 30 days.
the problem is I want to stay more in China as a quality controler in one company..pls advice

Best regards,
Evelyn Mary

Hi,

I am a Nepali citizen studying in the United States. And I am looking into Tibet as my internship possiblity in one of the projects that my Univeristy is engaged in. While I was in Nepal, I had visited Southern part of Tibet for a week or two using a pass designated for Nepali citizens. However, if I am to get an intership, I would need to spend about four months in a province near Lhasa. Would a pass work in this scenario or would I need to acquire a visa for Tibet? If I am to get a visa how do I go about acquiring one?

Thank you!

Hi Anna

I have been in China with a F visa for a few years but now cannot get China visa in China anymore. I am from Philippines. Can you help where I can get F visa or at least L visa in Macau? I plan to come next week. How long will it take to process you think?

Hi anna,

I’m holding a philippine passport, i just want to know if i still have to apply for a transit visa to shanghai, my destination is manila, i have seperate tickets that is toronto to shanghai and shanghai to manila, i will stay in the airport for 10 hrs. to wait for my flight to go to manila. Thanks and hoping you will helped me for this.

M.S.SWAMIANTHAN, you should try to apply for the China visa at US. That presumably will make your life easier. I see no reason the China embassy there won’t issue you one. In the very unlikely case that they reject your application, you can always stop by Hong Kong and get a China visa here before flying off to shanghai.

Hi Vida, I don’t think you can get a china visa at the Shanghai airport. You can try going to HK or Macau to get the visa within one day, though.

Hi,

FYI i just went through the whole process of getting the visa in macau and it was really really simple and easy; perhaps that’s because macau is smaller than hong kong. i live have lived in china for 3 years and just needed to get the L visa between jobs. Everything that the host of this forum has posted is true. in addition, though, American citizens get charged an extra 800 rmb/pataca/HKD for their visa. sweet revenge by the chinese gov, i guess, so the total price for the 1 day visa was 1050. they have a list countries and how much extra those citizens have to pay so the usa folks aren’t the only onese to get screwed…they just get screwed the hardest. i didn’t ue a service, just went to the very centrally located and non-threatening chinese gov office, the people there speak english. i guess the only difference between using CTS and going yourself is that they do the waiting for you and i assume they charge a bit more.ONE MORE THING: unless youre going at a really peak time, DON’T book your hotel from the very very helpful information booth in Macau airport bc they charge you more to get there cut..understandable maybe but… just get the free maps, info etc and then just go to the hotel yourself. most of them are off of avenida henrique in the western part of Macau, west of the Hotel & Casino Lisboa (a great central landmark). also, you can take the AP1 airport bus to the Jetfoil ferry for 3.3 pataca. so it was a pretty cheap and successful trip, good luck

Hello,

I’m from Albania and i have a 30 days Chinese visa.

I need an information if it is possible for me to get a Chinese visa in Macau, because i really need to stay longer (at list 2 more months) here in Shanghai.

If yes, please send me some information about what I have to do and also what kind of documents to I need for that.

Thank you and looking forward to hearing from you,

you can do that, and you can also get a China visa to go to china and then return to macau. Macau is pretty easy with the visa.

michelle, if you go to hong kong, you will get a hk visa at the border. you get a china visa only if you go to mainland china.

hi there,

i wonder if any of u may help. i’m going to macau in jan and will be taking the ferry to hong kong, i was wondering if i’ll need to apply for a china visa? as some of my friends said that i need to.

If you google up, you can find agencies in HK which offer visa service. They are usually located in Wanchai, where the China visa office is located. You can contact them for visa service. At least they can offer you some reliable information.

Hi,

Thanks,

hello becky, i don’t quite understand your question. if you go to china, you must get a visa before you can enter the country. you can get it in Hong kong, or in macau.

Hello,

I have read your information and it has been very informative. I had a question to ask. I am a US citizen with a valid US passport. I will be traveling to Hong Kong and then on a tour of mainland China. Can I still get the Visa I need in Macau? Or will I have to get it before I get to China? Any information would be helpful.

Thanks, Becky

Hi Amy,

Even if you need a visa, you get it at the border. So just go.

Macau is not the same as Hong Kong, of course! Macau is very small, whoes blood life is driven by gambling business. Casinos are everywhere. But on the other hand, there are some areas preserving colonial and local history – very quaint. I can tell macau in these few words, but i can’t do the same for HK, which needs people to explore.

Hi,

I am a permanent resident of the United Stated with a Chinese passport, Do I need to obtain any visa to visit Macau???? Would Macau be the same as Hong Kong???

Thanks
Amy

Gui,

My answer to your question is: I can’t see why you can’t get a China visa in the China embassy in India.

Also, for you to go to tibet, i think you need a tibet entry permit, on top of the China visa.

Ali,

My post above said it all. Go to the China Travel Service in Macau city centre (see above for the portugese address, the chinese address is : 澳門羅理基博士大馬路南光大廈1樓 “) and apply for one. If you go in early, you can have the visa by 5-6pm the same day.

Hi..

Hello, it seems you know the question perfectly so here is my question :

I want a three month china visa, six if possible, to spend most of my time in Tibet. I am actually in nepal, and apparently i can have only a 30 days visa. My question is : can i have my visa in india?

thank you very much

gui

As a national of nepal, you will need a visa to enter macau, but you can obtain it at the border, of 30 days.

For info on which nationalities need and need not a visa to enter macau, see its government info here.

Once you are in macau, head to the Macau China Travel Service in the city centre for applying a visa to China. The address and contact details are:

Address: Avenida do Dr. Rodrigo Rodrigues, nºs 223-225, Edifício Nam Kuong, 1º andar “A” e 12º andar “A”, Macau

Dear Madam
I already been to china one time and this time I have validchinese visa but right now I am in vietnam and when i enter to china from Vietnam I am thinking to visit Maccau but I am nepali national and do I need another visa to enter maccau and is it possible to take another chinese visa in maccau if then where would please give me the exact details
sincerely yours
Noel

For the business visa, besides a passport photo and filled application form, you also need to provide the contact details (name, organsiation/company, phone no) of someone in China -a buissiness partner, represenative of a school or company or organisation.

It will cost 900rmb, and you can pick up the visa following day.

This info is very useful. I wonder if there’s a practice of applying for Chinese business (F) visas in Macau and if yes, then what documents are required and how long it takes? Thanks!

Hi Vinod, if you have a L visa already, you can apply to the local police station for extending your visa for another month. I assume that it is easier if you are in a bigger city.

When you extend your visa, you will usually need to bring with you the proof of where you stay (if you stay in a hotel, the hotel will have to write a note certifying that you are its guest; if you stay with a friend, your friend will have to show his/her residence card and address). It should’t be difficult.

Which police station to go to? It depends on where your hotel/or where your friend lives. In China, a certain police station oversees a certain area in the city and so there may be a few police stations in a city, especially in those big cities like beijing or shanghai. You need to check with your hotel/your friend which police station you should go.

You should extend your visa at least a week before your visa expires.

Dear
sir Madam
I am from India and i have L visa of china but i want to stay one more month
in china so pls guide for the same waiting for you reply

Thanks& Regard
Vinod
