The Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) launched the trial “Coordination Service for Filming Permit Application” in a bid to simplify the procedures for local and foreign filmmakers to apply for filming in Macau.
The “Coordination Service for Filming Permit Application” is jointly coordinated across 10 public services including the Macau Government Tourism Office (MGTO), the Sports Bureau (ID), the Customs Services, and the Fire Services Bureau.
According to the IC, it will serve as the primary coordinator of the initiative, receiving all filming applications submitted by the filmmakers in addition to providing services such as consultation, the drafting of application guidelines, and document referral.
The public services participating in the network will directly contact applicants to inform them of the outcome of their filming applications.
The IC noted that the scheme provides a unified service for application collection in order to save applicants time so that they do not have to visit a number of public services, as well as to allow applicants to track the status of their applications.
The trial will run until the end of this year.
