Taiwanese traveling to Xiamen, China - do I need to get a visa or Tai Bao Zheng before I go?
Me: US passport and Taiwan passport
Trip: Going to Taiwan for a few weeks but also planning on going to Xiamen from Taiwan for a few days.
Problem: So far, it seems like it is more annoying to use my US passport to get a visa for China. I'm wondering if I should wait until I get to Taiwan to obtain the necessary permits with my Taiwanese passport. Where / How would I go about doing that? Also, I heard a friend say that I can just fly into China and get the necessary permits after I land. Is that true?
