Filipino travelers also have to meet the following requirements for Free Visa in Taiwan:

• Possess an ordinary/regular passport with remaining validity of at least six months from the date of entry
• Hold a confirmed return plane or boat ticket, or a confirmed plane or boat ticket, along with a valid visa, for an onward destination
• Provide the confirmation of hotel reservations or an address and contact details for their stay in Taiwan, as well as a financial statement
• Have a clean criminal record, as verified by immigration upon arrival at an airport or seaport in Taiwan
• Teco explained that the extension of the visa-free privilege “is a display of Taiwan’s amity with the Philippines as the country continues to boost the travel convenience for Filipinos to visit Taiwan for leisure, business, or other short-term purposes,” adding that the privilege seeks to deepen Taiwan’s relationship with the Philippines in various fields

“The Philippines is not only Taiwan’s closest neighbor but also a priority partner for Taiwan’s ‘New Southbound Policy’ which aims to build stronger bilateral relations and closer people-to-people connectivity with its neighboring countries in the region,” Teco said.

The visa-free privilege was first implemented in 2017 and immediately reflected an increase in the number of Filipinos visiting Taiwan.
