Surrenderof tourismguest lists mandatory from mid-Nov.

Two new executive regulations will take effect from November 16 to order the surrender of lists of airline passengers and crews as well as non-local hotel guests to the Public Security Police Force (PSP).  The purpose of this is  “to help refine entry-exit management measures and prevent crimes,” according to the Executive Council in a statement. The airline lists must be surrendered after the boarding process. The hotel guest lists, meanwhile, will only concern those staying without Macau-issued ID documents, and those with Macau-issued IDs who are accompanying somebody who does not have a Macau-issued ID. All data collected will be retained in the PSP database for five years.
