마카오(중국 특별행정구): 출발 전에 알아둘 것

핵심

  • Macao has its own immigration rules, separate from mainland China and Hong Kong; check your visa-free days for Macao specifically.
  • Bringing in e-cigarettes is prohibited; vapes are confiscated and fines apply.
  • Hong Kong dollars are accepted almost everywhere at roughly 1:1, but change is often given in patacas (MOP), which are hard to use outside Macao.
  • Gambling is legal only for those 21 and over; casino entry needs ID.
  • Typhoon signal 8+ suspends ferries and many services, mainly June–October.

입국과 비자

Many nationalities enter visa-free: British citizens up to 180 days, most EU states 90 days, and US, Russia, Belarus, India, Turkey and UAE 30 days. Other nationalities (except a short restricted list) can usually get a visa on arrival (MOP 200 single entry). Mainland Chinese residents need an Exit-Entry Permit with endorsement. No arrival card is required.

여권 유효기간: At least 90 days beyond the intended stay, subject to statutory exceptions for certain documents.

입국 심사에서 요구할 수 있는 것

  • Entry slip is issued at immigration; keep it with your passport until departure.
  • Free casino/hotel shuttle buses run from the ferry terminals, airport and border gates.
  • Visa on arrival (if needed): MOP 200 single, MOP 300 multiple entry.

세관

  • E-cigarettes are prohibited from import.
  • Declare cash over MOP 120,000 (or equivalent).
  • Duty-free per adult: 19 cigarettes (a full pack of 20 is over the limit) and 1 litre of spirits over 30% ABV.

ATM: ATMs at banks, casinos and ferry terminals accept foreign cards; many dispense both MOP and HKD.

  • HKD is accepted almost everywhere; MOP is rarely accepted in Hong Kong - spend patacas before leaving.
  • Casinos and big hotels take cards; small eateries and street vendors often prefer cash.
  • Russian-issued Visa/Mastercard do not work abroad; bring a foreign-issued card or cash.
