If you are looking to move to work in another place that has both Asian and Western influence, Macau is the perfect place for you. Dubbed as the ‘Las Vegas’ of Asia, Macau attracts millions of tourists each year, thus offering many job opportunities for those working in the tourism, hotel and restaurant and hospitality industry.
Macau is a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of the People’s Republic of China. It consists of the Macau Peninsula itself and the islands of Taipa and Coloane, which are now connected by landfill forming the Cotai Strip.
For tourists, Macau has some liberal visa-free entry policies for citizens of 66 countries. The duration of the visa usually ranges from 180 days to 14 days, depending on nationality. However, non-residents who wish to take up employment in Macau need to obtain a valid work permit and are then issued the so called Blue Card (Non Resident Worker’s Permit).
To find a job legally in Macau, Filipinos can search online and apply directly to Macau-based companies. In this setting, the company is usually the one to process the applicant’s working visa. Another way is to visit the POEA websites for the list of accredited agencies that have approved job orders from Macau employers.
Below is the list of job openings in Macau from manpower agencies in the Philippines.
