vietnamese passport holder fly from japan to vietnam transit xiamen

Question

Hi, I'm Vietnamese planning to fly back to Vietnam from Japan transit Xiamen with Xiamen airline flight tickets. 26th Dec 18:55 - 21:50 Osaka - Xiamen27th Dec 19:45 - 22:00 Xiamen - Ho Chi Minh City Would I be eligible for the 24 hour transit-free visa and apply for a temporary entry permit to stay in Xiamen within 24 hours ? Does the type of Japanese visa affect the entry permit? Any problems if I got the Japan tourist group eVisa but transit alone in Xiamen (without tourist group) ？Cuz I fly back to Vietnam, so it doesn't make sense if they check my Japan visa, right? Thank you !

Huong, your itinerary will be definitely covered by 24 hour visa free transit and you do not need any kind of visa. Also, when you land in Xiamen, the first thing that you will do is to approach 24/144 hour visa free transit where you will apply for a temporary entry permit because your layover is a very long one. Here you will present your flight tickets and your hotel booking confirmation if you have one. After a short check you will be granted a permit and then you will head to the immigration and to the city to enjoy some time on your own. You will return back on time for your flight to HCMC. Your Japanese visas will not be of particular interest to the Chinese authorities because you are traveling to your home country. Have a pleasant journey home.
