Individuals intending to leave Macao via a civil aviation flight are now required to present a nucleic acid test certificate – with a validity of seven days counting from the day the sample is taken – proving they are ‘negative’ for COVID-19 infection.

The measure amounts to a relaxation of previous Macao test rules regarding outbound flights, and became effective at 1am today (24 November). People intending to leave Macao should pay close attention to any additional requirements that might be in place for travellers at their chosen destination. For example, people travelling from Macao to Beijing are currently required to present a nucleic acid test issued within 48 hours.

In addition, people intending to enter Macao by air from any mainland city, are required to present a ‘negative’ nucleic acid test certificate with a validity of seven days starting from the day after the sampling date.

Rules regarding the nucleic acid test certificate required of people arriving in Zhuhai from Macao, have also been updated since 1am Tuesday (23 November). Such travellers are now required to present a test certificate, with a validity of seven days counting from the day after the test report is issued.

Likewise, also from 1am Tuesday, individuals intending to leave Macao via a ferry service would need to present a nucleic acid test ‘negative’ certificate with a seven-day validity period, starting from the day after the sampling date.

Regarding arrivals from Hong Kong, they would need to show a valid nucleic acid test certificate – issued within 72 hours from the day after the date of sampling – proving they are ‘negative’ for the virus.

Anyone not holding Macao ID that fails to provide a valid test certificate on arrival, might be banned from entering Macao.
