Do I need a pass to go to Kinmen? Material preparation before traveling in Kinmen.

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 it is necessary to have a pass to travel to Kinmen, but this is slightly different from the Taiwanese pass. 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' passes to and from Taiwan, G or L visas, entry permits or deposit certificates.

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

G visa is an individual tourist visa, which is not restricted by group travel and can travel freely; L-sign is a group travel endorsement and must be entered with the tour group. Endorsement for a single time, each time around 20 yuan, valid for 6 months.

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

Entry permit can go to Taiwan Province Island, including Jinmen Mazu Penghu. It is valid for 3 months, the longest stay time is 15 days, and the cost is about 200 RMB, usually 3-5 working days.

The certificate of deposit can only go to three areas of Jinmapeng. It is valid for 3 days from the designated travel date, and the travel time must be indicated when handling. The maximum stay time is 15 days, and the fee is within 100 RMB. The general visa will be issued in about 3 working days.

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

How can urban residents get to Kinmen without free travel?

Method 1: Go to Taiwan Province with a qualified tour group, so there is no geographical restriction.

Method 2: spouses of urban registered population and children under 16 who are open and free to travel can apply for free travel, even if they are not open cities.

Mode 3: If my household registration is in a non-open and free city, but I work in the above-mentioned city, and I have a temporary residence permit+proof of paying social security for one year, I can apply to the Public Security Bureau for a Taiwanese certificate +G endorsement in the above-mentioned city. After successfully obtaining the G endorsement, you can apply for an entry permit to a travel agency that has the qualification to travel to Taiwan. It is recommended to consult the local exit-entry administration directly.

The use of Kinmen currency

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 rate may be different, but it is not big. Remember to make an appointment at least one day in advance.

Most duty-free shops in Jinmen support UnionPay card payment without extra charge. 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.
