About:24-Hour Visa-Free Transit

Philippine Passport. Manila to Canada with 12 hours layover in Xiamen

Hi,

I have a flight to Canada on December 16 and I will have a 12 hours layover at Xiamen.
Return flight is on January and will have another 12 hours layover.

Can I avail of the visa free transit?

If I want to do a city tour on January while waiting for my connecting flight to Manila, will I need a tourist visa?

I called 2 travel agencies here and they gave me conflicting answers.

Hi, you don’t need a visa for that because you are eligible for the 24 hour direct transit in Xiamen. You need to apply for a free temporary stay permit at the immigration office when you arrive at the airport, then you can leave there to explore the city. Nice trip.
