Rules in force · 7
- East Asia ↗Every border in East Asia is a full international border, Hong Kong and Macau included: an entry permission for one never covers the next.
- East Asia ↗Ferries between Korea, Japan and China cancel in rough seas and typhoons; keep a flight or a spare day behind every sea leg.
- Macau ↗Entry rules differ from mainland China and Hong Kong and depend on your passport; check the Macao SAR Government and Public Security Police sources before you book, and carry your passport for every crossing.
- Macau ↗When Typhoon Signal No. 8 or higher is raised, ferries and buses stop and many shops close: stay where you are and re-plan the next day.
- Macau SAR ↗Macau has its own immigration control, separate from mainland China and Hong Kong: carry your passport for every crossing and check the entry rules for your passport before you book.
- Macau Peninsula ↗When Typhoon Signal No. 8 or higher is raised, ferries and buses stop and many shops close: stay where you are, re-plan the next day and check the operator before any crossing.
- Macau Peninsula ↗Old-town lanes are narrow, steep and paved with small stones: large suitcases go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
