The first visa processing process in Macao: considerations for playing in Macao.

The friends who want to visit Macau are watching you. Although you may not be able to travel to Macau for a short time, you can still have a look at the relevant strategies for traveling in Macau first, and then you can go to the airport when you plan to travel to Macau. First time visa application process

1. First, you have to go to the public security bureau or the entry-exit hall where the household registration book is located to apply for a pass, but now the pass has been replaced by an electronic card.

2. information to be provided: the original and photocopy of the resident identity card and household registration book (copied on A4 paper, which can be copied on the same paper), and two 2-inch light background color photos (photos can also be taken on site, and the expenses need to be paid by themselves).

3. Fill in the Application Form for Travelling to and from Hong Kong and Macao and submit it.

4. Go to Macau and apply for Macao endorsement. If you only go to Hong Kong, apply for Hong Kong endorsement. If you go to Hong Kong and Macao, you must apply for both endorsements.

5. You can receive the Hong Kong and Macao Pass within 1 working days from the date of acceptance, with express service (additional charge), or you can collect it by yourself with your personal ID card and receipt. Clearance

Gongbei: It took about half an hour to queue before using the electronic card, and now it's changed to an electronic card. Under normal circumstances, about 1 minutes is enough. After crossing the mainland customs, you can walk to Macau customs in about 8 minutes.

Hengqin: There are very few people in Hengqin. Basically, you don't have to wait in line when you enter and leave on holidays, but you will pass the Lotus Bridge between the two gates of Hengqin. You need to take a bus here, which costs about five yuan. It takes about 1 minutes to get on and get off.

To sum up, if you are in a hurry on holidays, you can go directly to Hengqin, and it will be much faster to get to the scenic spot as soon as you get through customs. In Gongbei, you have to take a bus to get to the scenic spot, but the only disadvantage of Hengqin is that the traffic is inconvenient and there are not many buses passing by. If you are going to drive by car, there is no problem. In addition, it is more convenient to live near Gongbei, and there are accommodations in supermarkets and shopping malls. If you plan to stay in Zhuhai for one night, you can go through the customs in Gongbei, otherwise it will be difficult to find Hengqin out of convenience stores.

Basically, most people pass through Gongbei Port, which is the most convenient in terms of traffic and geographical location. If they pass through Gongbei Port, it is best to avoid the rush hour at eight or nine in the morning. Because there are often many uncles and aunts who buy food from the mainland and then return to Macao. The peak time for returning to Gongbei from Macau is at 7: pm on Saturday, with the fewest people at 2:-4: pm. If possible, it is best to go to the weekend on weekdays or on legal holidays, when there will be more people. Internet access

Actually, domestic calling cards are not roaming, so you can still make calls, that is, the phone bill will be very expensive, and there is generally no internet at the entry and exit places. You should also pay attention to the fact that you can still make calls when you return to customs clearance, that is, the phone bill will be very expensive, and there is generally no internet at the exit places, so you can restart it and try your mobile phone. Precautions

1. Handwritten letter (specialty) stores, only snacks, biscuits and sweets like these, and the prices range from tens to more than 1, which is not affordable.

2. If you want to go to Macau, you need to enter through the port. There are several ports, Hengqin Port is open for customs clearance 24 hours, and others should pay attention to customs clearance time.

3. Gongbei Port has a money exchange office at the entrance to the port passage. You can exchange money according to your own needs, which is recommended. However, 5 yuan's handling fee will be charged when you exchange money. If you change a lot, you may not need the handling fee. You need to consult the money exchange office for details.

4. You also need a Hong Kong and Macao Pass when you enter Macao. There are two types of this pass: one is the card type, which is similar to the ID card, and the other is the card type, which is similar to the household registration book. When you enter the port, you can enter from the automatic channel, and you have to enter from the manual channel with this pass, and you need to verify it twice before you can enter Macao.

5. through the second verification, after starting from Gongbei port and entering Macao border, there are many free buses to the hotel when you look left at the exit.

8. Grand hotels in Macau are entertainment, accommodation and shopping centers. Some shopping centers may be more expensive than domestic ones, but some will be cheaper than domestic ones, but few shops support mobile payment, and the main payment method is credit card.

9. When we eat, it's actually quite expensive. The small shops along the road basically want a plate of shredded potatoes from 58 yuan, and the rice is a small bowl from 1 yuan, plus the service charge. The price of some roadside shops is one to one. Simply put, RMB, Hong Kong dollars and Australian dollars are all the same. For example, when the price was just settled, it was so much to pay in RMB, Hong Kong dollars and Australian dollars.

1. It is not recommended to buy food, cosmetics, alcohol, tobacco and the like in Macau, because after returning to Zhuhai from Macau, there will be duty-free shops at Gongbei Port. At this time, if you haven't run out of Hong Kong dollars in Macau, you can buy goods directly here, but you need a pass to spend, and each person can only buy one or one bottle of tobacco and alcohol.

The above are the related strategies for Macao tourism, and you will definitely need them when you go to Macao again. However, at present, due to the impact of the epidemic, Hong Kong and Macao passes are temporarily suspended. Little friends can wait until the epidemic is over before going to Macao to play.
