What passport are you holding?

Depends on your nationality and whether you look like your avatar.

Hi,

If you are a westerner you don't need to get a visa from a consulate/embassy. You just arrive, they put two stamps in your passport, one saying when should leave by. Macao is a month. Hong Kong is 90 days unless you are English, then you get six months. You get a new Visa every time you arrive, by stamp. That means every time you go into Macao you get a month, starting again, same in Hong Kong but for 3 mths or the 6 as I said. No fees. Just fill out the form on the plane and ferry that the crew will give you. You can get a free ferry from the Venetican Casino if you go there and spend some money. But if you don't want to stay in Macao and don't want to go to any casinos then you can get a taxi to the Talpa Ferry terminal, it's right next to the airport. I walked but it's a bitch with luggage, but only a 10 min walk.

How do I know? I left Hong Kong via Macao on 28 December 2008.

Macao is very polluted and some what expensive. Hong Kong is the same but very interesting.

Macao and Hong Kong are SARs - Special Administrative Regions. They have their own governments so you get no info from the Chinese embassy about them.

Need more info just send me a message. I lived in Hong Kong until 28 December 2008.

ersl, your comments may be helpful however as a number of others have said HK and Macao visas depend on your nationality. Stating "westerners" as you did does not cut it. Your comments on the lack of information from the Chinese Embassies is also a little loose. I assure you, potential workers ie Filipinos who wish to earn in HK certainly have to apply for the Visas through the Chinese Embassy, and I am confident that all other Visas required will also come through the same source
