Hong Kong ⇄ Macau Border & Permit Guide

Can Mainland visitors travel back and forth between Hong Kong and Macau on a valid Exit-Entry Permit (EEP)?

Yes. If a Mainland visitor holds a valid Exit-Entry Permit for Travelling to and from Hong Kong and Macau (往來港澳通行證 / Two-way Permit) with valid endorsements for both Hong Kong and Macau, then after activating either endorsement they may travel to Macau, return to Hong Kong, and move between the two cities within the initial seven-day stay window—provided they do not enter Mainland China (such as Shenzhen or Zhuhai) in between.

How the seven-day Hong Kong ⇄ Macau side-trip rule works (do not enter Mainland China in between)

One of the most frequent questions from Mainland Chinese travellers planning a combined Hong Kong and Macau itinerary is whether a single Hong Kong endorsement plus a single Macau endorsement on their Exit-Entry Permit (EEP / 往來港澳通行證) allows a round trip such as Mainland China → Hong Kong → Macau → back to Hong Kong → Mainland China.

In short: as long as you have activated your Hong Kong or Macau endorsement, hold valid endorsements for both territories on the back of your permit card, and do not cross back into Mainland China in between, you can travel between Hong Kong and Macau within the seven-day stay window:

Exit-Entry Permit (EEP) Hong Kong ⇄ Macau itinerary rules
Itinerary patternRequired endorsementsHow border clearance and the seven-day window work
Route A: Mainland → Hong Kong → Macau → Hong Kong → MainlandValid Hong Kong endorsement (single-entry G or L) + valid Macau endorsement (single-entry G or L)Entering Hong Kong activates the seven-day Hong Kong stay window. Crossing to Macau over the HZMB uses the Macau endorsement. Because you did not enter Mainland China, returning from Macau to Hong Kong within that initial seven-day period is permitted under the remaining balance of your original Hong Kong stay without needing a second Hong Kong endorsement.
Route B: Mainland → Hong Kong → Macau → Mainland (via Macau Airport or Zhuhai)Valid Hong Kong endorsement + valid Macau endorsementEnter Hong Kong first, travel to Macau by cross-border private car within seven days, and exit directly from Macau to Mainland China.
Route C: Crossing into Zhuhai or Shenzhen in the middle of the tripConsumes your active endorsementCritical warning: If you cross from Macau into Zhuhai (via Gongbei, Hengqin or Qingmao Port) for dinner or a hotel stay, you have re-entered Mainland China. You cannot return to Hong Kong afterwards unless your card carries another unused Hong Kong endorsement.

More questions about this journey

Why is it critical not to enter Zhuhai or Shenzhen in the middle of a Hong Kong–Macau round trip?

Once you cross from Macau into Zhuhai (or from Hong Kong into Shenzhen), Immigration records that you have returned to Mainland China and your single-entry endorsement is fully consumed. To move back and forth between Hong Kong and Macau on single-entry endorsements, you must remain within Hong Kong and Macau throughout the trip.

Does returning from Macau to Hong Kong reset the seven-day stay period?

No. When you return from Macau to Hong Kong under the side-trip arrangement without entering Mainland China, Hong Kong Immigration readmits you for the remaining balance of the initial seven-day stay period granted when you first entered Hong Kong.

Can I enter Macau using only a Hong Kong endorsement on my Exit-Entry Permit?

No. Hong Kong and Macau are separate immigration jurisdictions. You must verify that the physical back of your Exit-Entry Permit card shows both a valid Hong Kong endorsement and a valid Macau endorsement before setting off.

Do Type L (team travel) endorsements work the same way as Type G (individual travel) endorsements at the HZMB checkpoints?

Yes. Holders of a valid Exit-Entry Permit with valid Type L endorsements for both Hong Kong and Macau follow the same seven-day side-trip and HZMB vehicle-lane clearance procedures as Type G endorsement holders.
