Macau's non-mainland foreign-worker market is dominated by the Philippines (~31,926), Indonesia (~8,304) and Vietnam (~7,850); Myanmar workers are relatively few (source: Macau Labour Affairs Bureau, Q4 2025). But some Macau employers do want to hire Myanmar workers — here are the basics.
★ Basic facts about hiring Myanmar workers
Myanmar workers in Macau are "non-mainland" foreign employees. The application framework is the same as other nationalities — through the Labour Affairs Bureau and the Public Security Police.
📌 Key takeaways
Hiring Myanmar workers follows the same Employment Permit → Entry Permit → Blue Card flow and is protected by the MOP 7,280/month legal floor. Myanmar workers are fewer in Macau, so matching and visa steps may take longer — plan early and ask us for a case quote.
💡 What is a "Myanmar worker"?
A "Myanmar worker" is a foreign employee from Myanmar. Like other nationalities, they must be hired under Macau labour law, with a written contract and a Blue Card. The only difference is nationality and source; treatment and protection are the same in principle.
Application process (same as other nationalities)
- Apply for Employment Permit: submit to the Labour Affairs Bureau
- Apply for Entry Permit: after approval, apply to the Public Security Police for the entry permit
- Enter and get Blue Card: the worker enters with the permit and gets the Blue Card
- Start work: after formalities, work begins
