I am moving to Macau next week for work. Looking for recommendations and tips.

I get a week at a hotel paid by the company while I find a place to rent. I was looking at Taipa or One Oasis. Is it true you need to pay 3 months of rent in advance? I am already looking at facebook groups and wanted (ideally) a furnished one bedroom/studio in the 7k-10k budget. If anyone has any advice it would be appreciated.

Probably will have to rely on walking and public transportation for the time being. I hear it's pretty efficient.

How's the weather like? I read it is humid as fuck and winter is only from December to February.

I was advised to get a dehumidifier as soon as possible once I have a place.

What is the cost of living like?

Update: Thank you all for the replies. I arrived last night and still getting over jetlag and whatnot. I already got a sim card and a bus pass to get around. Got a bank account, but they said it takes a week or 2 to get it approved.

Already talked to some real state agencies and now solely focused on looking for a place to live since I only have a week of housing from the company. I will be working at COD, hence why Taipa or One Oasis were my choices. Looked at an apartment in Taipa earlier today, but didn't really like it. Hoping to get answers from FB groups so I can go see apartments and get one asap

I’m from Macau (26/F). Currently exploring my life. I want to meet more different people, share thoughts and hopefully can give me some ideas of what to do with my life.

Hallo! I'm visiting Macau with a large group this August, and we have a lot of free time in between group activities. I had a few questions regarding some things we have been recommended to check out to do in our free time.

My first question is what is the best way to get around? Taxis? Uber? Public transport? Usually if the walk is less than 30 mins, we're all happy to walk but if we do need to commute, what's the best way?

Then, do you think that any of the following are ABSOLUTELY worth checking out? (and obviously if some of them are absolutely not worth it please let me know too!)

• Ruins of St Paul
• SkyCab @ Wyn Palace
• TaiPai Village
• Giant Panda Pavillion
• Studio City Ferris Wheel
• Macau Tower
• Zipline @ Zipline City
• House of Dancing Water
• Teamlab Art Immersive Exhibition

Thank you all!

ETA: the group is mid to late 20's in age, and we have a budget of around MOP1000-1500 per day for sightseeing stuff

I read an article saying One Sauna and Darling Sauna got shut down. Are all saunas closed?

3 days in office as a software engineer, flexible hours, should I move to Hong Kong or just stay in macau with parents, technically I could stay in a hotel 2 nights per week, just pick a semi shitty one and will still be cheaper than rent, or commute daily in those 3 days?

I’ll be visiting this November and I’ve always wanted to try this

Hi everyone, I'm moving to Macau next January (I'll be studying there for a semester) and I'm looking for an apartment to rent but I definitely don't want to spend a lot of money (there are many holidays in the beginning of the year so want to spend my money traveling 😆)

I'm finding it hard to find affordable places to live. Don't know if I'm looking in the wrong websites or if the market is really crazy in there.

Does anyone have any tips on finding a place to rent? Is there any website or app I should be using?

Thanks in advance.

I'm Australian and my wife is a Chinese citizen with Australian permanant residency. We are in Zhujia and wanting to visit Macau. We have read from one reliable source (Chinese Embassy in Australia) that my wife does not have to apply for the Permit, like normal Chinese citizens do, that is, those without permanent residency in another country. Though we cannot find the same corroborating information anywhere else. Can anyone clarify that?

Anyone know any good spots that have pianos (upright or grand) to play? Even if they need to be rented. Will be over in September/October.

I like to visit these places on street view. It's still 2008 and the casinos were still being built, like time has stopped. Something very cosy about those two places.

I've seen quite a few LHD cars (usually luxury or supercars and usually with 2 or 3 plates), I guess they're usually driven more in the Mainalnd?

Hihiii, I wanted to ask about shop payments in Macau. Is it possible to use wechat/alipay as non mainlander or use YouTrip? Or is it mostly cash HKD & RMB? Thanks!

Hi, I received a job offer for a job based in Macau and am now considering moving there (currently based in HK). I am unfamiliar with Macau and also quite new to HK so I would really appreciate if you could give me some tips on which neighborhoods are best for young families? We are a young couple with a baby.

In HK and Europe we love going for strolls with the baby, have supermarkets conveniently located and go for hikes or to the beach. I've seen that Macau has old European/Portuguese architecture. Are the houses and areas with this architecture nice to live in?

What other neighborhoods or areas should we be looking at? I don't mind commuting.

Our rent budget is approx 20k-30k HKD per month.

Thank you!

Does anyone know where to buy isopropyl alcohol 90%? I need it to clean my CPU and GPU, but can't find it anywhere.

Any tricks to prebooking taxis to the airport in Macau? I use the app maas plus and it's always full. Amap booking auto cancelled on me each time. Why is it so difficult or am I not using the right app? Please help. Just want to be able to book taxi to the airport without stressing and that they will show up. Thanks

are there anyone doing one nights stands in macau?

I’m a scholar with a weird specialty. I study luck and games. I need a local Macau guide.

I really want to understand how gamblers in Macau think about luck and casino etiquette.

I’m looking for someone who really understands the baccarat tables. How you bring good luck, how you act at the table.

I have had zero success. Local tour companies are finding me standard city guides. My hotel concierge says he can’t find me anyone to talk about the casino.

Any suggestions? I don’t need an expert. Just someone familiar with gambling - a gambler or a dealer - who has good English.

Thanks for any help!

UPDATE: Edit to add that this would be for the night of October 13, ideally.

Hi redditors,

I get accepted as Master student at the University of Macau and expects to begin in the upcoming August with scholarship from the University covering tuition fee, dorm, and half-teaching assistantship worth of MOP 4,000.

However, I have some questions that need to address, and the university still not have yet answered them.

1. Is MOP 4,000 enough to support myself for a month?

2. What is the best bank to open a bank account at for students?

3. How do I complete my vaccination requirement for the tetanus dose? I only received a single shot before the class begins, would I still be allowed to attend class and complete follow-up vaccination in Macau?

4. How much money do I need to prepare before the stipend is disbursed to support myself for the first few weeks after arrival? I asked the university and was told that my assistantship would begin at the start of the semester and that the stipend is expected to be paid at the beginning, but they did not disclose the exact date.

Please your help and Thank U.

Is there a clinic in Taipa that provides self-paid influenza vaccines?

As the title says, but compared to Hong Kong or any other city in GBA, how would you describe your life has been different in Macau? How much did the city's gambling specific situation affected your lives? I've spent one day but I felt like it is most capitalistic place I have ever seen.

Hey! I’m a Spanish guy looking to meet people from Macau. I enjoy talking about culture, music, daily life… and I’d also love to learn more about Macau and maybe help with Spanish or English if anyone’s interested. If there are any WhatsApp groups, feel free to DM me! And if not, I’m happy to just chat and see where it goes.

I’m Brazilian and I recently received a 100% scholarship to study at a university in Macau. I’m planning to live on campus, and the dorm costs around 15,000 MOP per semester.

I’d like to understand what the general cost of living in Macau is like for an international student, especially for someone from Brazil. How much should I expect to spend monthly on food, transportation, phone/internet, personal expenses, and occasional leisure?

I’m willing to live a very modest/simple lifestyle if necessary in order to save money, so I’d also appreciate advice from people who know how to keep expenses as low as possible.

Is living on campus a good option financially? Are there any tips for saving money as a student in Macau?

Thanks in advance!
