Car entry permits to Guangdong province are now available to non-Chinese permanent residents of Macao. That’s according to a Transport Bureau statement cited in local media.
The new rules allow non-Chinese permanent residents to join the so-called “northbound driving scheme,” which permits Macao-registered vehicles to enter Guangdong province for up to 30 days per trip and for a total of 180 days in a year.
However, the scheme imposes a maximum quota of 2,000 vehicles a day from Macao.

The news comes in the wake of the Mainland Travel Permits for non-Chinese permanent residents, launched last month.
The permits allow bearers to make visa-free trips to China for durations of up to 90 days, subject to conditions.
According to official figures, the Zhuhai end of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge saw traffic volume of 3.26 million vehicles in 2023, with the daily average last year reaching a total of more than 8,900 vehicles.
