The Taipa Temporary Ferry Terminal opened in 2007 (; ) was located a few meters north of the
Macau International Airport. It was mainly served by
Cotai Jet for services from the
Hong Kong–Macau Ferry Terminal in
Sheung Wan,
Hong Kong and the
Hong Kong China Ferry Terminal in
Tsim Sha Tsui,
Kowloon. It is now closed. The ferry terminal had two berths for
hydrofoil and one for
ferries, and served as a port of entry into
Macau, with there being
passport control desks - separated into those for Macau residents, Visitors (including
Hong Kong identity card holders and
Mainland China visitors) and Diplomats. There was also a
visa-on-arrival application office for those who require a visa to enter Macau but had not applied prior to arriving at the ferry terminal. After that, behind the exit, was a
customs zone. The structure was formally closed on 1 June 2017, and replaced by a new, permanent ferry terminal in the same location. ==Transit connections==
