The Macao government will continue to offer cash handouts this year, but not every citizen is entitled to it.
Only residents who had stayed in the enclave for at least 183 days over the previous year can benefit.
From July 15th onwards, permanent residents will get 10,000 patacas while non-permanent residents will receive 6,000 patacas.
Under revised rules, both groups are required to have stayed at least 183 days in Macao in 2024.
However, exemptions are in place for three groups -- residents aged under 22 in the last year; those whose parents qualify for disability pensions or allowances; and eight types of residents who spend significant time outside of the city, such as working in the Greater Bay Area.
