if i stay in macau as a tourist can i find a job there? what should i do if i want to work there? should i apply a working visa? how about a part yime job? it should be possible?

2/26/2010 7:31:00 PMOwen :

I heard that the talent market has been over crowded in Macau, but it all depends on you yourself.
If you want to work there, you have to find an offer form a local company first, and then you may apply for a work visa unde the help of your Macau employer.

I have a temporary travel document to travel to macau as my passport is near expiry. However, the immigration officer told me that i most likely hav to apply for a visa to enter macau. Thing is, the embassy only opens from 9am-11am. its already closed and I'm flying off tommorrow.. What can I do? Can the visa be applied at macau or at the HK airport?

i m an indian passport holder.and i want to stay at macau for more then 3 months so can i get visa for 3 month?

2/19/2010 8:46:00 PMDave :

Indian passport holders are exempt from visa to Macau and Hk for 30 days and 14 days respectively for each entry, so I think the best way is exit Macau and enter Hk for every 30 days stay.

I am from United Arab Emirates, does that mean I have to apply a visa at China Embassy or is it visa on arrival?

Hello, I am a US citizen and am planning to move to Macau in a few months to be with my fiancee (Philippines citizen) who will be working there soon. I already have a job but my employer is based in the US and is allowing me to work remotely from Macau. I plan to stay in Macau for about 1 year. Can I get a work visa even though my employer is based in US? What other options do I have? Should I apply for temporary residency? Thank you for your advice.

1/27/2010 7:32:00 PMFred :

You may apply for a Macau work visa if your employer has a branch office in Macau.

1/27/2010 8:00:00 PMBob ( United States ) :

Hi Fred, my company does not have a branch office in Macau. That's my question, can I still get a work visa even though my company is based only in US but allowing me to work remotely in Macau? I suspect the answer is no. I guess I could setup a temporary branch office with me as the only employee. Would that work?

1/28/2010 7:00:00 PMFred :

If so, I don't think you can get a Macao Employment visa. I advise you go to the China Embassy or Consulate in USA for real help.

1/28/2010 7:13:00 PMBob ( United States ) :

Hi Fred. It seems rather rediculous the Macau govt would not allow or want me to stay even though I would bringing money into the country. Also, I would not be taking any jobs away from any locals and in fact I might actually end up hiring some locals to help me with my work. However, thanks for your suggestions. I will try the China embassy here in DC and see if they can help me.

I am in Beijing (US citizen) and want to travel to Macau with my girlfriend who has China passport with US green card. Can we get a entry visa for her at Macau and what city destination from Beijing should we book using the train for entry to Macau.
thank you

1/20/2010 7:22:00 PMLisa :

I think your Chinese friend should apply for a Macau Exit and Entry Permit from the Public Security Bureau in Beijing in advance.
You may first go to shenzhen or Zhuhai.

I am a naturalized Canadian citizen and I wanted to go visit Macau( my grandpa's country)from the Philippines on my back to Canada. Do I need an entry visa for that? Although I seem to read that citizens of Philippines and Canada are exempted, I just want to make sure because I will be travelling on a constricted time, I cannot waste another day getting some paperworks.
Thank you very much for your time.

12/29/2009 7:27:00 PMDavid :

Yes, both Filipino and canadian passport holders are exempt from visa to macau for 30 days.

1/18/2010 7:24:00 PMCherry :

I think you'd better apply for the macau visa ealier, but it is impossible to apply for the visa online, you have to apply for the visa at the local China Embassy or Cunsulate in person.
