Another year to plan your Taiwan travel

On April 25, 2023, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Taiwan convened with government agencies to promote the New Southbound Policy (NSP) and improve visa measures of partner countries. After evaluation, the participating agencies agreed to extend the visa-free entry measure for another year for nationals of the Philippines, Brunei, and Thailand.

“Considering the need to revive mutual bilateral exchanges and tourism in the post-pandemic era,” the ministry said in a statement.

The Project for Simplifying Visa Regulations for High-End Group Tourists from Southeast Asian Countries will continue for another year, through December 31, 2024.

Taiwan first announced visa-free entry for Filipino tourists in 2017 and has extended the program since.
