Macao → Cyprus: Short-stay tourist
Whether you need a visa at all, according to official sources.

You likely don't need a visa
This depends on which passport you hold. The Cyprus Ministry of Foreign Affairs lists your nationality as visa-free for a stay of up to 90 days, provided you are a bona fide visitor (the ministry's Visas page describes a short stay as up to 90 days in any 180-day period). It applies only to holders of a "Região Administrativa Especial de Macau" passport (Annex 1's condition). The ministry's exemption page is dated 9 June 2024, over two years old; its current Visas page (updated March 2026) points to a separate Annex 1 list posted in January 2026, and you are shown as visa-free here only where the two lists agree. Border officers can still check the purpose of your trip and that you can pay for your stay; the ministry publishes no minimum amount. Arrive through Larnaca or Paphos airport, or the ports of Larnaca, Limassol, Latsi or Paphos: the ministry says entering through an airport or port in the part of Cyprus its government doesn't control is illegal. The ministry's site links to the EU's ETIAS page, but none of its own pages says whether ETIAS applies to entry into Cyprus, so check that page before you travel.
