There are some rigorous admission restrictions set forth by the government of Macau.

A passport issued by the visitor's home country and valid for at least six months beyond the visitor's expected term of stay in Macau is required for entry.

The nationals of a small number of other countries may require a visa to enter.

Australian, Canadian, New Zealand, and United States citizens with valid passports can enter the country without a visa. Still, they must provide additional documentation, including proof of adequate finances and onward or return travel arrangements.

People going to Macau for official business or school usually need a special visa.
