| 1. |
When ① the "employment authorization" granted to the "self-employed" is revoked by the competent authorities, or ② the "self-employed" is granted "Residence Authorization", the applicant should go to the Subdivision concerned immediately for cancellation of his/her "Authorization to Stay" and submit the following documents: |
| |
1) |
Application letter requesting for cancellation of the "Authorization to Stay" and a copy of it; [Note: the letter should contain the personal information of the “self-employed” and the reason for cancellation.] |
| |
2) |
Copy of valid passport / travel document / P.R.C. Permit for travelling to and from Hong Kong and Macao ("Two-way Exit Permit" for short) (bio data page only and the inside page containing the "Type D-Stay endorsement" for holders of a booklet-type "Two-way Exit Permit", while holders of a card-type "Two-way Exit Permit" should submit the back copy containing the "Type D-Stay endorsement".) or identification document used for entry to and departure from Macao; |

3) |
Preliminarily or initially approved application form for "Authorization to Stay" / original of the "Slip of Authorization to Stay". (if any) |

[Note: If any of the documents listed in Points 2 and 3 cannot be submitted, the reasons should be clearly stated in the application letter for cancellation.] |
| 2. |
Upon completion of the procedure, the "Authorization to Stay" of the “self-employed” will be cancelled instantaneously. Another "Authorization to Stay" which is valid for not less than 8 days will be granted (if necessary) for the purpose of making arrangements for departure from Macao. |
| ** Attention ** |
The Subdivision will cancel the "Authorization to Stay" of the “self-employed” (even if the Authorization is not expiring) on the date it receives the notification letter of the revocation of the above employment authorization. In this case, if the “self-employed” continue to remain in Macao while they are not granted any other "Authorization to Stay", they will be considered to be overstayers starting from the next day the original "Authorization to Stay" is cancelled. |
