    • There is a 60-minute luggage handling time, that is, delegates have to purchase a ferry ticket from HKIA to Macau at least 60 minutes before the departure of the ferry so that enough time is given for the staff to transfer the luggage from aircraft to ferry.

  • By Land

    • From Guangdong

      There are two main gateways from Macau to Guangdong Province. One is the Barrier Gate near Gongbei, and the other is the Hengqin Port.

      Barrier Gate, located at the northern end of the Macau is the main entry gate to Zhuhai in Guangdong Province. It is the gate by which travelers enter mainland China. Actually, all bus services operating between Macau and Guangzhou pass through this gate. All travelers are required to have the same travel documents (e.g., your valid passport and Chinese visa) which are required when entering China via other cities such as Beijing, Shanghai or others.

      Gongbei Border, nine kilometers away from Zhuhai city's government center, is a Chinese border immigration checkpoint. It connects Macau to the south and several hundred meters from its counterpart, the Barrier Gate.

    • From Hong Kong

      Visitors from Hong Kong can also take Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau-Bridge (HZMB) bus to Macau (HZMB Frontier Post at Macau Port). (https://www.hzmbus.com/)

      The Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge (HZMB) is a 55-kilometre bridge–tunnel system consisting of a series of three cable-stayed bridges, an undersea tunnel, and four artificial islands. It is both the longest sea crossing and the longest open-sea fixed link in the world. The HZMB spans the Lingding and Jiuzhou channels, connecting Hong Kong, Macau, and Zhuhai—three major cities on the Pearl River Delta in China.
