1. Foreign Macao residents who travel to the Mainland for short-term tourism, trade, visiting relatives, visits and other activities may apply for multiple-entry visas with a validity period of 5 years and a stay period of no more than 180 days.
2. Foreign Macao residents are exempted from submitting round-trip air tickets (train tickets, boat tickets) and hotel reservations when applying for visas to China.
