The methodology behind the four figures
The above are operational statistics and project records provided by the site operator, not approval data from the authorities; the stated statistical cut-off date is June 2026.
Flagship case (Macao)
A restaurant chain's five Macao outlets with 30 imported workers: 45 days from quota application to full onboarding, 90% annual retention and zero labour-compliance incidents on record. Case outcomes depend on the employer's operations, the roles and document completeness, and do not represent the timing or result of every application.
Compliance statement and official verification
Zhiao is the Macao business brand of AOYE Human Resources (Guangdong) Co., Ltd. and is not a Macao-registered company. Macao employment-agency, quota and stay-permit work is lawfully handled by a licensed Macao employment agency; mainland recruitment and labour procedures are handled by a partner qualified for Macao labour services.
The handling agency's permit status can be verified with the Macao Labour Affairs Bureau: DSAL electronic permit verification portal. Non-resident worker procedures and forms follow the latest publications on the DSAL service procedures page.
Frequently asked questions
Are these figures official approval data?
No. The figures on this page are operational statistics and project records of ZHIAO (the site operator), compiled as of June 2026; approval timing and outcomes are decided case by case by the Macao Labour Affairs Bureau and other competent authorities.
Does the 30-day average approval time mean my case will be approved in 30 days?
No. Thirty days is the statistical measure from complete document submission to approval notice across historical cases; supplementary documents, industry and review circumstances differ case by case, and these figures promise neither a timeline nor an outcome.
Who handles the Macao-side formalities, and how can this be verified?
Macao employment-agency, quota and stay-permit formalities are lawfully handled by a licensed Macao employment agency; the permit status can be verified through the DSAL electronic permit verification portal (linked on this page).
