This travel advice covers the Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR). For mainland China, see travel advice for China.

Dual Chinese-British nationality  

Macao does not recognise dual nationality. If you have both British and Chinese nationality, the local authorities may treat you as a Chinese citizen, even if you enter Macao on a full “British citizen” passport. If this is the case, the British Consulate-General may not be able to offer you consular help.      

If you have formally renounced Chinese citizenship, carry evidence that you have done so.

See guidance on nationality in China.

Typhoon Ragasa

Typhoon Ragasa is currently expected to impact Macao from Tuesday 23 September to Wednesday 24 September. There will likely be heavy rainfall causing disruption to services, and possible flooding.

Typhoons can change course and intensity. Monitor the China Metrological Administration site and local typhoon alerts. Follow the advice of local authorities. If you are due to travel, check for messages from your travel provider.

Before you travel

No travel can be guaranteed safe. Read all the advice in this guide. You may also find it helpful to: 

Travel insurance

If you choose to travel, research your destinations and get appropriate travel insurance. Insurance should cover your itinerary, planned activities and expenses in an emergency.
