Is datapump import from 19c database into XE18 possible?

Hi,
I got a customer schema-dumpfile from Oracle database 19c and want to import it into my XE18.

impdp <user/pwd>@<tns> directory =.. dumpfile=<19c-schema-dmp> logfile=..
give
ORA-39358: Export dump file version 19.0.0.0.0 not compatible with target version 18.1.0.0.0

Afterwards I imported this dump successfully in own 19c database using:
expdp <user/pwd>@<tns> directory =.. dumpfile=<new-name> logfile=.. schemas=.. version=18.1
But impdp into XE18 of this version=18 dumpfile got oracle error "ORA-39002: invalid operation".

timezone version of XE18 is 31 (older than from source database).

Is it possible to update timezone in XE18?
My only solution would be to update to Oracle Database Free 26ai (or 23ai) instead of XE18.
