240-hour transit at Xiamen Port (Passenger)

Route and transport checks

The 240-hour policy applies to the passport nationalities in the officially sourced transit list. It requires an ordinary passport and an onward ticket with a confirmed seat and departure date for a third country or region. The place before China and the place after China need to be different. A ticket that simply returns to the same place does not meet the third-destination test used by the checker.

Your arrival point must match the named port in the official table. For Xiamen Port (Passenger), confirm with your carrier that the specific flight, ship, train or crossing uses this listed entry point. Do not assume that another terminal or similarly named airport is equivalent. The applicable stay is measured in hours; compare your planned departure with the policy limit and allow time for check-in, border procedures and schedule changes.

Permitted stay area

The area recorded for Xiamen Port (Passenger) is “Fujian Province.” This field is drawn from the NIA table and can be narrower or more detailed than the province name. If your route includes other cities, check each city against the exact area wording in the table rather than assuming a whole province is covered. Other entry points have their own recorded areas, and the table's notes explain how travel between listed areas is treated. Border staff may ask for tickets and accommodation details that support the route you describe.
