跟智方便一樣卡 每一步都load超久 難弄 比我奶奶卡痰還嚴重 弄半天跟我說系統未能提供服務

成日過唔到機

試過調過螢幕光暗和距離遠都不行,最後始終都要拿身分證出來,令人非常尷尬! 請問有沒有教學或者指導?

氹仔碼頭入境

在氹仔碼頭用QRCode入境澳門好多時都不成功,請跟進一下。
其他關口用都好𣈱順👍

通關最便捷

通關閘口掃碼秒過閘機,無需拿取證件,速度超快

換咗iPhone 17 Pro之後download唔到呢個app

Could it be possible to integrate the immigration department's app? This would eliminate the need to download two separate applications. Please liaise with the Apple App Store to facilitate an upgrade that allows users to download this app directly. I suspect the issue may due to certain undeletable apps fragments or system registry involved, and make the system think like it was still in the phone but actually it was not.
