Remarks / Points to note

1. Generally, the expiry of the “Special Authorization to Stay” granted to the reuniting kindred is the same as that of the “Non-resident Worker’s Authorization to Stay” (and of the “Non-resident Worker’s Card”). However, the “Special Authorization to Stay” granted to minor reuniting kindred expires on the day he/she becomes an adult.
2. When the non-resident worker applies for renewal, reposition or cancellation of his/her “Non-resident Worker’s Identification Card” , he/she should apply for renewal, reposition or cancellation of the “Special Authorization to Stay” of the dependant as well.
3. After the Subdivision receives the notification letter of employment termination or employment authorization revocation, the relevant “Non-resident Worker’s Authorization to Stay” (including the “Non-resident Worker’s Card”) and the reuniting kindred’s “Special Authorization to Stay” will be revoked (even though the Authorization is not expiring). Under such circumstances, if the non-resident worker and his/her reuniting kindred continue to stay in Macao without getting another “Authorization to Stay”, they will be considered to be overstaying starting from the day following the revocation of the original “Authorization to Stay”. Therefore, as soon as the non-resident worker acknowledges the employment termination or employment authorization revocation, he/she should go to the Subdivision immediately with his/her reuniting kindred for certain cancellation procedure. Upon completion of the procedure, they will be granted another “Authorization to Stay” for preparation arrangement for not less than 8 days (if necessary).
4. The dependants of a non-resident worker are prohibited from working at Macao (except otherwise stipulated in the law).
5. If the non-resident worker / reuniting kindred of the non-resident worker renews the passport / travel document / “Two-way Exit Permit” / identification document used for application for the “Authorization to Stay” in Macao, he or she is required to bring the renewed document to the Subdivision concerned for update of the document information and application for reissue of the “Slip of Authorization to Stay”.
