Moving to Macao · pathway check
Which Macao pathway should I check first?
Start with the main reason you are coming to Macao. This is not an eligibility test; it helps you avoid treating different public procedures as one route.
01 · First, check these points
What do you need to clarify first?
- Are you relying on a family relationship with a Macao resident, or are you researching general residence?
- Do you have a Macao employer, or are you considering the Talent Recruitment system?
- Have you been admitted by a Macao higher-education institution, planned a company, or begun researching Major Investment?
02 · What to do next
Take the route one step at a time
- 01
Choose one main purpose
Family, general residence, employment, talent, study, company set-up and investment do not use the same test or documents.
- 02
Read the relevant practical guide
Each route explains who should read it, what to check, and what this website cannot decide.
- 03
Return to the official page
Check current service targets, documents, fees, timing, booking and system entry points before making submission arrangements.
03 · Prepare before you use the official service
Build a working document folder
- Your purpose and current identity/stay position
- Where relevant: information from a Macao-resident relative, employer, institution or company plan
- A valid travel document and a clear list of questions for the authority
04 · Final official check
Confirm live requirements on the original public page
Forms, fees, time limits, booking, platform access and individual requirements can change. Use the responsible authority's page before you submit.
