The free port of Macau is a Portuguese overseas territory, to be handed back to China on December 20, 1999. It will then become the Special Administrative Region of Macau (RAEM) maintaining the present social, political, economic, and cultural systems for the next 50 years.
Macau enjoys economic, financial, and judicial autonomy. I have, however, been unable to find any information on the situation for homosexuals except statements that it is indeed legal. The ages below are those for Portugal. Uniform age of consent was introduced in Portugal as early as 1852.
If you have any further information
on the current situation in Macau, please contact
me.
| Age of consent | Male-Female | Male-Male | Female-Female |
| Portugal | 16 | 16 | 16 |
No specific information on the age of consent for Macau was fond.
