Macau Visa on Arrival?

Hi,

I have read on all the websites and they have listed the countries that can get free visa into macau and have also written that %26#39;all other countries can get visa on arrival at a fee%26#39;. I want to know whether I can get into Macau on a russian passport if I have a return ticket. I need to go to Macau for applying a Z visa at the China visa office.

Any tips?

Thanks,

Zhanna

Macau Visa on Arrival?

I tried checking the link from cn,macautourism.gov.mo to the macau security police, but the English site is not yet running. As you state you are posting from China, is there anyone who can help you read the Chinese page?

I don%26#39;t think a Russian passport holder would have any problems entering - many Russians work in Macau (almost certainly illegally, on tourist visas).

Macau Visa on Arrival?

From the Macau Government Tourism website:

'; Passports and Visas

All visitors must hold a passport or a valid travel document. Please note that the validity of these documents must not be less than 30 days since the day you enter Macau.

I don%26#39;t see Russia mentioned as a country whose nationals do not require visas, so perhaps if you visit the website you can enquire what to do.

I finally just called them and they said that it is ok for me to get a visa, just need to have 15,000RMB ( If coming in from china ) to show that I would have enough to live here!

Thanks for the help though, appreciate it!
