Taiwan has extended for another year its visa-free entry policy for Filipino travelers until July 31, 2025. Taiwan 's Bureau of Consular Affairs under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Tuesday that Filipinos are eligible for the visa exemption program, with a duration of stay of up to 14 days effective Aug. 1, 2024. The visa exemption, however, is not applicable to aircraft or ship crew who will be boarding to report for duty.
According to BOCA, passports must be valid for at least 6 months. Travelers are also required to present hotel reservation records, contact information in Taiwan, and proof of appropriate financial resources for border inspection.BOCA added that the visa extension was made in order to “tie in with the promotion of the ‘New Southbound Policy’ and improve the visa policy for nationals of New Southbound countries to come to Taiwan.”The visa-free program for Filipinos resumed on Sept. 29, 2022.
