Do I need a pass to go to Kinmen? Material preparation in front of the golden gate.

Kinmen county is an island county, nominally under the jurisdiction of Quanzhou, Fujian Province, but the actual mountain is under the jurisdiction of Taiwan Province Province, so traveling to Kinmen requires a pass, which is slightly different from that of Taiwan. The following small series will introduce you. Come and have a look.

Material preparation in front of Jinmen

Two certificates and one sign

That is, mainland residents' travel passes to and from Taiwan, G or L visas, Taiwan Province entry cards or gold entry cards.

Pass, G-sign and L-sign need to be handled by the public security bureau where the household registration is located. The ordinary pass will be issued within 15 working days, valid for 5 years, and the production cost is about 50 yuan RMB.

G is an individual tourist visa, which is not restricted by group travel and can travel freely; L sign is a group travel endorsement, and you must follow the tour group. A single endorsement, about 20 yuan each time, is valid for 6 months.

What's the difference between an entry permit and a deposit certificate?

Entry permit can go to the islands in Taiwan Province Province, including Jinmen, Mazu and Penghu. Valid for 3 months, with a maximum stay of 15 days. The fee is about 200 RMB, usually signed at sunrise in 3-5 working days.

The gold card can only go to three areas of Jinmapeng, and it is valid for 3 days from the designated travel date. You need to specify the travel time when processing. The longest stay is 15 days, and the cost is less than 100 RMB. It usually takes about 3 working days to check out.

In short, the entry permit can go anywhere in Taiwan Province Province, and the entry permit can only enter three areas: Jinmapeng. To go to Kinmen, you only need to show your entry permit or entry permit at the dock.

How can urban residents get to Kinmen without free travel?

Method 1: Travel to Taiwan Province Province with qualified tour groups, so there is no geographical restriction.

Method 2: spouses of urban registered population and children under the age of 16 who are open and free to travel can apply for free travel even if they are not in an open city.

Mode 3: If my household registration is located in a city that is not open for free travel, but I work in the above-mentioned city and have a temporary residence permit to pay social security for one year, I can apply to the public security bureau of the above-mentioned city for G endorsement of Taiwan Pass. After successfully obtaining the G endorsement, you can apply to a travel agency qualified to travel to Taiwan for permission to enter Taiwan Province. It is recommended to consult the local exit-entry administration directly before handling.

The use of Kinmen currency

Kinmen uses new Taiwan dollars, and the exchange rate between Kinmen and the mainland is about 4: 1. China Bank, Xiamen Wu Tong Wharf Counter and Jinmen Shuitou Wharf can all exchange NT dollars, but the exchange rates may be different, but they are not big. Remember to make an appointment for replacement at least one day in advance.

Most duty-free shops in Jinmen support UnionPay card payment, and there is no extra handling fee. Some shops enjoy discounts by swiping their cards, so as long as they exchange an appropriate amount of NT dollars, the rest can solve the currency problem by swiping their cards.
