1.She should apply a Hong Kong and Macao Entry Permit with T endorsement from the Public Security Bureau Exit-Entry Administration Department.
2.As to your circumstance,she can obtain a three-month mutiple entry permit.

Dear Melissa, Thank you for your prompt reply. What about Macao authorities? Shouldn't they give her some kind of residence permit to stay longer that 90days ?

1.Since you are on a non-resident work permit, the Macao authorities would not give your wife residence permit. Even your wife successfully obtains the three months multi-entry permit, it does not mean that she can stay in Macao for three months. A three months multi-entry permit can only allow her entering Macao multiple times within the three month validity of the permit and staying no more than 14 days each time.
2.So considering that you want she to stay longer than 90 days, there is a way.You can apply to the Immigration Department for a "Authorization to Enter and Stay" on her behalf before she comes to Macao.The "Authorization to Enter and Stay" allows she entering Macao and staying in Macao for 30 days, thus she need not to apply the a Hong Kong and Macao Entry Permit any more. 5 days before the "Authorization to Enter and Stay" expires, you can apply for an Extension for no more than 90 days. There is also possibility that you can apply for a Special Extension for more than 90 days. The Special Extension should be applied 10 days before the "Authorization to Enter and Stay" expires.
3.I am not sure of the possibility and detailed requirements of the special extension, so you'd better enquiry at the Immigration Department.
