Filipinos To Enjoy Visa-free Entry To Taiwan - 2017 Updated

Filipinos travelling to Taiwan will be able to enter the country without a visa, started  November 1.

The facility is only available to travellers who wish to visit the country for up to two weeks; for stays of longer duration, travellers will have to apply for a visa before entering the country.

The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (Teco) in the Philippines on Monday announced that this initiative will undergo a nine-month trial period, from November 1 until July 31.

According to Teco, Filipinos may enter Taiwan without the need for a visa if they have an ordinary/regular passport with at least six months' validity from the date of entry; a return ticket or a ticket and visa for the visitor's next destination, and a proof of booked accommodation, the host's contact information, or tour or travel arrangements.

While these sites are still accessible through mobile apps, their access from web remains unavailable.

Filipino visitors must also have no criminal record in Taiwan.

This initiative will undergo a nine-month trial period.
