To provide a method for producing a meta type wholly aromatic polyamide fiber, by which the meta type wholly aromatic polyamide fiber having an excellent quality can stably be produced for a long time.

This method for producing the meta type wholly aromatic polyamide fiber, comprising wet-spinning the amide-based solvent solution of a meta type wholly aromatic polyamide, is characterized by using an amide-based solvent aqueous solution containing a low mol. wt. meta type wholly aromatic polyamide insoluble in a wet coagulation liquid in an amount of ≤250 ppm or the amide-based solvent aqueous solution containing an inorganic salt as the wet coagulation liquid.
