Re: the extension of the 14-day visa-free trial program for Filipinos
Share
We have received numerous emails and telephone calls inquiring whether Taiwan’s visa-free trial program for Filipinos will be extended for another year after July 31, 2019 since January 2019. Airlines and travel agencies have also expressed their sincere hope for an extension of the visa-free privilege.
The aforesaid concern and high expectation have been conveyed to our relevant government agencies. Moreover, we have urged our government to make a decision about the extension of the visa-free trial program as early as possible and announce the decision as soon as possible.
With over 419,000 Filipinos travelling to Taiwan in 2018, the number of Filipino visitors hit a new record high. The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in the Philippines encourages more Filipino friends to maximize the visa-free status and visit Taiwan to enjoy the sightseeing, cultural attractions, shopping, dining and the Taiwanese hospitality.
