The Public Security Police Force (PSP) announced in a statement yesterday that it will launch a self-service renewal of the “Authorisation to Stay as Worker”, which will enable eligible non-resident workers (NRWs) to use kiosks to complete renewal formalities.
According to the statement, a new style of “Non-resident Worker’s Identification Card” was introduced on March 14 last year, with the Public Security Police utilising its features to improve procedures and provide more convenient administrative services for both employers and employees. The self-service renewal’s launch aims to further improve the PSP’s services and is done with the support of the Public Security Forces Affairs Bureau (DSFSM), the statement noted.
From Thursday this week, the statement pointed out, after the employers’ submission of non-resident employees’ renewal applications and followed by their approval, those holding the new style of non-resident worker’s card are not required to replace them and may use the PSP’s self-service kiosks.
According to the statement, upon scanning their cards and travel documents for verification, the system will automatically update their “Authorisation to Stay as Worker” validity and issue a new Authorisation to Stay slip.
The statement said that the kiosks are currently available at the following locations: Immigration Department Building in Pac On (24/7); Macau Government Services Centre – PSP’s service area in Macau and Taipa (Monday to Friday, 9 a.m.-6 p.m.); Barrier Gate Checkpoint (6 a.m. to 1 a.m.); Police Station of ZAPE Subdivision (24/7); and University of Macau Police Station of Coloane Subdivision (24/7).
The current service targets, the statement said, comprise non-resident workers and students studying in local tertiary institutions. The kiosk locations will gradually be increased, the statement underlined, with 24-hour operating facilities to be given priority. Moreover, the Public Security Police, which runs the Immigration Department, said that it will continue to expand the kiosks’ applications and functions.
