What procedures need to be completed for a free trip to Kinmen?

Applying for travel to Kinmen can be divided into groups (tour groups) and individuals.

The following explanation may be clearer:

Group The tour must be organized by a travel agency. Each group must have at least 5 people, including an application form, a photo, a resident (identity) card, etc. The travel agency will help you prepare other details.

For individuals (free travel), in addition to the above-mentioned application forms, photos, and resident (identity) certificates, an itinerary and travel insurance receipts or documents must be attached.

Because you are in mainland China, you still need to find a local travel agency to apply (because you need to apply at the Immigration Bureau office in Kinmen). You may want to ask more about the local fees in mainland China and the application fees in Taiwan. It costs NT$400 (approximately RMB 80) each time, but the mainland travel agency will charge you an agency fee. Of course, you can also apply by mailing the application materials to the Immigration Bureau in Kinmen (or the main island of Taiwan), but the round trip time is long, and it is troublesome to replace the documents, so it is recommended to find a local travel agency to handle it on your behalf. The counterpart to Kinmen is Xiamen, and there is no ferry service from Quanzhou to Kinmen.

It takes about 3 to 7 days for each application to be issued, and you can stay in Kinmen for 15 days each time you enter the country. Of course, there are also multiple-entry applications (multiple-entry permits). However, if you are just sightseeing, I personally think that a single-entry permit is enough (multiple-entry permit applications take longer and the cost is twice as much as a single-entry permit). ?The above is the relevant information for applying to Kinmen. Of course, there are also some documents to apply for when leaving the mainland.

Although Kinmen is just a small island off the coast of southern Fujian, it has become a rich story because of its unique geographical location and historical origins. , a place full of mystery.

Some netizens asked: I heard that to apply for a visa on arrival, you need a certificate issued by Wutong Pier and a physical return ticket? Passengers also need to prepare a 2-inch color photo with a white background when clearing customs, and do they need to collect fingerprints?

Kinmen County Government Tourism Office answers: When applying for a "visa on arrival", the return ship ticket document is a "must item". The so-called document refers to the physical return ticket or a certificate issued by a travel agency or shipping company; Tourists do not need to prepare any photos when clearing customs; fingerprint collection has nothing to do with "visa on arrival" and is a necessary step for customs clearance.
