Question:

Authorization to Enter granted at the checkpoint can be regarded as for the purpose of tourism or its equivalents unless the non-resident specifies another purpose. Does it mean that the visitor does not have to make a declaration if he is travelling to Macao for the purpose of tourism? Is a declaration required only when the visitor travels for purposes other than tourism?

Answer:

If a visitor travels to Macao for the purpose of tourism, no declaration is required.
If the purpose is not tourism, the visitor may do the following:

(1)	Fill in the purpose of entry on the visa application form or Application Form for Prior Authorization to Enter. No declaration is required upon arrival.
(2)	Persons exempted from a visa or Prior Authorization to Enter may state their purpose of travel at the checkpoint before entry.
