What do I need to know before moving to Macau?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Macau, they said:
"Before moving to Macau, expats should be aware that the official language is Cantonese, although English is widely spoken. Expats should also be aware that Macau is a very small city, so it is important to plan ahead and research the area before moving. Additionally, Macau is a very safe city, but it is important to be aware of the local laws and customs. Finally, Macau is a very expensive city, so expats should plan their budget accordingly," replied a member in Macau.
