China has introduced a number of new visa policies and the number of foreign visitors has increased steadily. The Xiamen Gaoqi Border Inspection Station processed nearly 30,000 travelers from Australia, New Zealand and Poland this year. Australian visitors ranked eighth among all international arrivals.

The Gaoqi Border Inspection Station has also introduced self-service terminals for filling out entry registration cards. With evolving visa policies and the arrival of the summer travel season, Xiamen is expected to see a surge in passenger volume. The Gaoqi Border Inspection Station will deploy its Tongxin foreign language volunteer service team to provide general guidance, offer visa policy consultations and help with traveler clearance.
