  • Return or onward flight/ferry ticket
  • Proof of accommodation booking
  • Proof of sufficient funds if requested by immigration
  • Visa fee in cash (Macao Pataca or Hong Kong Dollar accepted)
  • Biometrics: photo and fingerprint scan taken at the immigration counter

Visa types

  • Family/group visa on arrival — for travelers arriving together, slightly lower per-person fee, similar validity
  • Business visa — arranged in advance through a local sponsor for longer or multiple-entry stays

Visa on arrival

  • Available at Macao International Airport and the border checkpoints with mainland China/Hong Kong (e.g. the Border Gate and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge)
  • Complete the arrival form and submit it with your passport photo at the immigration counter
  • Pay the visa fee in cash — MOP 200 for a single traveler, with lower group rates for those traveling together
  • Processing typically takes 15-30 minutes depending on queue volume
  • No advance online application is available for this route, so plan for potential queues during peak travel periods

Fees & processing time

  • Visa-on-arrival fee: approximately MOP 200-300 (about USD 25-37), individual rate; group rates are lower per person
  • No VFS/service fee — payment is made directly at the immigration counter
  • Total estimated cost: USD 25-37
  • Processing time: 15-30 minutes at the border counter
  • No express option offered, but the process itself is quick outside of peak periods

Tips for Kenya travelers

  • Carry small denominations of MOP or HKD cash, since change may be limited at the counter
  • Common issues: incomplete arrival forms or missing return ticket proof, which can slow processing
  • If arriving via Hong Kong, check Hong Kong's own entry requirements for Kenyan citizens for your connecting leg
  • Extensions beyond the initial stay are generally not granted — plan your visit within the visa's validity
  • Peak holiday periods (Chinese New Year, Golden Week) can mean longer queues at the border — arrive early
