The processing of tour guide card application and related formalities becomes fully electronic, in parallel with the city’s progress towards electronic administration.
Fully-electronic processing of tour guide card application and related services
On 1 January 2024, MGTO launched the tour guide card application and related services on Macao One Account. Tour guide card holder and new applicants can apply, renew or re-apply for the tour guide card, as well as update home address, phone/email contact, language options and so forth, through Macao One Account. In addition, MGTO and the Macao University of Tourism established a mutual data system this October. Applicants can apply for tour guide card and undergo related formalities on Macao One Account without submission of tour guide certificates. The entire process of applications has become electronic and does not require any actual visit of applicants to the Office.
