According to statistics from Hengqin Border Inspection Station, as of January 31, 2025, the first month of Hengqin's "one visa, multiple tours" policy for tourism to Macau, more than 16,000 people used the "one visa, multiple tours" visa to enter and exit Macau through the Hengqin Port, and residents from Qin and Macau rushed to the two directions and continued to heat up.
It is understood that tourists with "one visa and multiple trips" visas are concentrated on weekends and holidays. Most of the tourists travel to Macau for tourism are to watch performances, art exhibitions, visit friends, shopping, etc. Data shows that since January 1 this year, during the New Year's Day holiday, weekends and Spring Festival holidays, about 5,600 passengers entering and leaving Macau through Hengqin Port with the "one visa, multiple trips" visa, accounting for 35% of the total number. The implementation of the "one sign and multiple tours" policy further facilitates Hengqin residents' tourism consumption in Macau, effectively promotes the development of Macau's cultural tourism, exhibitions and other industries, and is of great significance to promoting the moderate and diversified development of Macau's economy. In addition, you can apply for visas to Macau on site within the Hengqin Port, which also provides convenience for mainland tourists who go out to travel.
The reporter learned from the Hengqin border inspection station that after the implementation of the policy, the passenger flow at the Hengqin Port has steadily increased. It is currently the Spring Festival holiday, and the "one sign and multiple trips" visa signing of passengers and tourists traveling to Macau are superimposed, and the passenger flow at Hengqin Port continues to operate at a high level. In order to facilitate personnel exchanges and improve customs clearance efficiency, Hengqin’s border inspection has communicated and cooperated with the Macau Public Security Police Bureau to debug and upgrade the channel inspection system, and opened a “multiple round trip passenger channel” at the port site. Passengers with “one sign and multiple trips” visas can quickly clear through the “multiple round trip passenger channel”.
