What other major conditions apply, how is the status obtained, and what renewal, document-validity, retention or loss rules matter?
Portuguese applicants apply to the Residence Subdivision of the Residence and Stay Affairs Department with a valid Portuguese passport, criminal record certificates (age 16+), proof of means of subsistence and a sponsor guarantee covering repatriation expenses; the listed charge is a MOP200 service charge. After approval the guarantee must be provided within 20 non-extendable days if not already submitted, the Certificate collected, and an identity card applied for at the Identification Services Bureau within 90 days. Renewal must be applied for in the first 60 days of the 120 days before expiry (late fees MOP2000/MOP5000); the Authorization may be revoked or renewal refused if the holder no longer habitually resides in Macao or no longer meets its conditions.
