Do I need a pass and endorsement to go to Macau?

Travel to Macao requires a pass and endorsement to and from Hong Kong and Macao.

For the first time, you must submit your application in person to the exit-entry administration office where your account is located. The application materials include: the original and photocopy of resident ID card and residence booklet (copied on A4 paper, which can be copied on the same paper), two 2-inch light-colored background photos (which can also be taken on site at their own expense), the application form for mainland residents' travel permit to and from Hong Kong and Macao, and the application for endorsement to and from Hong Kong and Macao respectively. If you only go to Hong Kong, you have to apply for a Hong Kong endorsement; if you only go to Macao, you have to apply for a Macao endorsement. If you go to Hong Kong and Macao, you must apply for both endorsements.

Endorsement refers to the endorsement of opinions or related matters on the certificate list.

Visa refers to the procedure of endorsement and seal of passports or other travel documents held by domestic or foreign citizens by the sovereign organs of a country to show that they are allowed to enter, exit or transit.
