Uzbek passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Macau. No need to apply in advance — just show up at the airport with your documents and pay the fee. This policy is current as of 2026.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Uzbekistan passport holders can get a visa on arrival at Macau International Airport. The fee is 100 MOP (approx. 12 USD) and you pay in cash at the immigration counter. Have a printed copy of your hotel booking and return ticket ready — the officer may ask to see them before issuing the visa. | Required |
| Valid passport Original passport with at least 6 months validity | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended stay in Macau. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward ticket out of Macau. A printed itinerary or e-ticket showing your departure flight works. Budget airlines at Macau International Airport are strict about this — they may refuse boarding without proof. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have a printed hotel reservation or an invitation letter from your host in Macau. Immigration may ask for it at the counter, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked hotel. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Cash, credit card, or bank statement | Carry at least 500 MOP (approx. 62 USD) in cash or have a credit card available. Officers rarely ask, but if you look underprepared they may request proof of sufficient funds for your stay. | Recommended |
Cash only for visa fee
The visa on arrival counter does not accept credit or debit cards. Bring MOP, HKD, or USD in small denominations. ATMs are available after immigration, but you'll need cash before you clear.
Visa on arrival is straightforward
The whole process at Macau airport usually takes 10–15 minutes. Just have your documents ready and join the correct queue.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Macau International Airport
After landing, follow signs to 'Immigration' or 'Arrivals'. You'll see a separate queue for 'Visa on Arrival' — join that line, not the regular passport control.
2
Present your documents and pay the fee
Hand over your passport, return ticket (printed or on phone), and accommodation booking. Pay the visa fee in cash. The officer will process and stamp your passport.
3
Proceed to passport control
Once you have the visa stamp, go to the regular passport control queue. The officer will check your passport and let you through.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After passport control, pick up your bags from the carousel and walk through customs. You're in Macau.
