The Parisian Macao
Pre-Trip Preparation
Travel Documents
A valid Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macao is essential for visiting Macau. If you haven't obtained an endorsement yet, you can apply at any local Public Security Bureau's Exit-Entry Administration office. Both business and tourist endorsements are available through online or offline channels.
Currency Exchange
The official currency in Macau is the Macanese Pataca (MOP). While Hong Kong Dollars and Chinese Yuan are widely accepted, it's recommended to exchange some MOP before your trip. The Parisian Macao and nearby establishments accept UnionPay, WeChat Pay, and Alipay. Exchange services are available at banks, airports, and authorized exchange shops.
