Visiting Macau from Hong Kong is an inter-SAR cross-border trip: you exit Hong Kong SAR immigration and clear Macao SAR immigration on arrival. Every traveller must bring a physical passport valid for at least 90 days beyond the intended stay (plus a Macao visa if required for their nationality; nationals of Bangladesh, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Vietnam must obtain a visa in advance).
