    Hello there. I just visited Macau last May 11 and exited on May 13. I'm planning to go back on June 11, is there any complications on that in the immigration. my friend told me that i will get an ultimatum visa if i go back in Macau because 30 days has not passed yet. is this true? i'm from the philippines

    • joseph :6/13/2013 7:10:00 PM

      ms joan, i also experience same as yours. the philippine immigration will not allow you to travel due to you date of philippine arrival and expected departure is to close. before i was almost offloaded, because i have only 30 days interval of my travel as my visa is concern.they question my financial capacity. i am aware of that possibility, that is why i prepare enough money and credit cards to be presented to the phil. immigration. as piece of advise, don't take the risk, you might be wasting your airline ticket and airport expenses.

    • Penny :6/4/2013 6:36:00 PM

      to get a work permit in Macau, you should find a job at the first place, and then submit all the required documents, and if you have passed the preliminary examination, you will get an temporary stay permit and wait for your application to be proved and it usually take a few weeks to finally obtain the work permit.

    Hello, I am nepalies passport holder. Can i go to Macau for worksecurity guard ? Please reply me.

    • Candy :5/23/2013 6:25:00 PM

      for Nepalies passport holder, you have to apply a Macau visa through the Chinese embassy in your country before departure. you can try to apply a job before you go or when you are in Macau, but you'd better not show any intention of working in Macau, or you may be rejected when you apply the visa.

    Iam from Nigeria and I need maybe a tourist visa but do Macau have an embassy in Nigeria ?

    • Lisa :5/21/2013 6:26:00 PM

      there's no embassy of Macau, as Macau is a special administrative region of China, so you should apply the Macau visa through the Chinese Embassy in Nigeria.

    hi, i came back here in the Philippines last thursday(MAy 16,2013) i stayed there for about 50 days. i didn't use my ultimatum visa. When can i go back to macau ?

    • Cathy :5/20/2013 7:48:00 PM

      you mean you stayed in Macau for 50 days??you konw as a Filipino passport holder, you are exempt from Macau visa for 30 days, so you overstayed in Macau for 20 days??you'd better not go back to Macau until at least 3 months later.

    HiThanks for answering my previous question. as a result I am coming to experience Macau on 24 May. I am very happy. Can I ask one more question. Thanks. I have landed a job with a hotel as computer operator. I just want to know if I can start working immediately after arriving in Macau i.e. after giving finger prints and getting receipt for Blue Card OR do I need to sit idle and wait for 2-3 months until I get Blue Card issued. Thank you very much.

    • Hebe :5/20/2013 8:00:00 PM

      theoretically, you can start to work after the blue card is issued. you may consult your employer for more information.

    Hello DearMy self Sanjeev from India please can it be possible to get work after visit of 30 in macau

    • Mindy :5/13/2013 8:35:00 PM

      you have to apply a work permit if you want to work in Macau, and it takes long to get the permit (sometimes longer than 30 days), so i guess you'd better find a job and apply the work permit as soon as you arrive in Macau.

    Hi there, an urgent question please I am a hk resident and i have a colleague (a Pakistani currently working and residing in Indonesia) who need to get to Macau for a meeting in June. May I know if he can only apply for a visa via the Chinese Embassy in Indonesia? Is there anyway I can help apply a Macau visa for him in Hong Kong? We are going for the same meeting sponsored by our company. Thanks so much in advance!!!

    • David :5/13/2013 8:32:00 PM

      he can apply the visa through the Chinese embassy in Indonesia. and he has better to apply it as soon as possible, because it takes a few weeks to get the visa.
