Remark/Points to Note

1. According to Term 1, Article 66 of Law No. 16/2021, to apply for a visa, Authorization to Enter and Stay, Macao SAR Residence Authorization, Renewal or Extension of Residence Authorization means the interested person consents to have his or her personal information, which includes his or her biodata, treated by the Public Security Police Force.
2. According to Article 31 of Law No. 16/2021, if parents who are granted any type of Authorization to Stay fail to comply with the obligation stipulated in this article because of fault, their Authorization to Stay will be revoked. In addition, application for Residence Authorization and Special Authorization to Stay will not be permitted for 2 years counting from the date of expiry of the period of default.
3. According to Article 49 of Law No. 16/2021, if there is a fault in the person who has parental rights or guardianship regarding the status of illegal immigration or illegal stay of an unemancipated minor, the person will be fined MOP3000 to MOP9000. If the liable person is a non-resident, the fine will be replaced by revocation of his or her Authorization to Stay and prohibition from applying for Residence Authorization and Special Authorization to Stay for two years.
4. Penalty for Overstay
   According to Law No. 16/2021 “Legal Regime of Immigration Control, Stay and Residence Authorization of the Macao Special Administrative Region”, persons who still remain in Macao after their Authorization to Stay expires and persons who do not leave Macao within the designated period after their Authorization to Stay is revoked are regarded as overstayers. Overstay is an administrative infraction, not a criminal offence. Therefore, overstayers are not condemned to a penalty of freedom deprivation.
   According to the law, an overstayer will be fined MOP500 to 800 per overdue day. The fine should not exceed MOP15000 and should be paid within the statutory 10 working days. The status of an overstayer who overstays for not more than 30 days, pays the fine upon giving himself or herself to the police or immediately after he or she is discovered and has never been fined for the same infraction in the past year can be normalized. Otherwise, the overstayer will be deported and interdicted from entry. In addition, application for Residence Authorization and Special Authorization to Stay will not be permitted for 2 years counting from the date the entry interdiction expires.
