August 1, 2024 Macau launches online entry authorization system for eligible Hong Kong permanent residents Effective 19 July 2024, Macau introduced a new online entry system for certain Hong Kong permanent residents traveling to Macau. The new facility is available to Hong Kong residents aged 11 or above who hold a valid Hong Kong permanent identity card or an identity card containing the "*," "***" or "R" symbol and are registered to use the Automated Immigration Clearance Service in Macau. These individuals can generate an encrypted QR code through the "Contactless e-Channel" mobile app and present the code to border officials when entering Macau, instead of presenting physical documents. This new service is not mandatory, and individuals may choose to present physical documents when entering Macau. A Tax Alert prepared by EY's People Advisory Services, and attached below, provides additional details.
