    • About visa on-arrival
      Visitors from Japan, Mongolia and Singapore are allowed to stay in China for 14-30 days without any Visa, which is called visa on arrival.
      However, it is impossible to convert visa-on-arrival into a residence permit here in Xiamen. Therefore, students should NOT come to Xiamen University this way, otherwise they might have to go back to their home country and apply for a new visa.
