The new Guangdong-Macao boundary crossing point, known as Qingmao Checkpoint, opened to the public at 3pm on 8 September 2021.

The Qingmao Checkpoint applies a “Joint Inspection and One-Time Release” principle regarding customs clearance of people, adopting a high-efficiency boundary crossing model already used at the Macao-Zhuhai crossing point serving the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, and at the Hengqin Port crossing point.

People that have either Macao ID, mainland ID or permanent Hong Kong ID, and who have already registered to use the automated clearance channels for boundary-crossing journeys – as operated under the “Joint Inspection and One-Time Release” principle – can opt to use the Qingmao Checkpoint.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, travellers are requested to present for inspection their online declaration of personal health, as required under the Macao Health Code system, and a valid certificate for a nucleic acid test that proves they are ‘negative’ for COVID-19 infection.

There is a total of 16 bus routes in Macao that offer access to the Qingmao Checkpoint.

The Qingmao Checkpoint – the fifth land-based crossing point between Macao and Zhuhai in Guangdong Province – improves the convenience of travel links between the two cities.

The new checkpoint is designed to support the nearby Border Gate Checkpoint, by offering overflow capacity.
