Yehey! Aside from ASEAN countries, Philippine passport holders may now VISIT Taiwan without a visa. Isn’t Taiwan our closest neighbor?
Filipinos can now travel to Taiwan without visa requirements provided that they have never worked in the country as blue-collar workers. There are other conditions and more information is provided on their website. It is so considerate of the Taiwanese government to provide information in Filipino (better than some Philippine government websites).
Check Taiwan’s Online Application for Entry Permit.
Of course, don’t forget to purchase a travel insurance online before you do any traveling.

AT KAPAG NAKA PAGTRABAHO KANA SA TAIWAN AS DEMESTIC HELPER, ENGINEER , ENGLISH TEACHER ,FACTORY WORKER OR ANY BLUE COLLAR JOBS AY HINDI PO KAYO FREE VISA SA TAIWAN…KELANGAN PONG MAG APPLY NANG VISA TO TAIWAN…

Hello, to be able to be granted with an entry permit to Taiwan (since VISA is no longer needed) they are also asking for other documents such as a Permanent Residency Card. Do we have such in the Philippines? Is the Philippine driver’s license sufficient? I hope you would respond to my email indicated here. Thanks!
The Permanent Residency Card is issued to those who are permanent residents of US, EU, Japan etc. Un ang kailangan, at hindi un issued sa Pinas, correct me though if Im wrong.
can my expired US visa be permitted, so as not to apply for taiwan visa anymore? thank you.
pwede, pero dahil sa grammar mo, US visa mo baka ma cancel p’re

MANILA, Philippines – Taiwan has added the Philippines to its list of countries eligible for visa exemption.
Effective March 1, 2009, Philippine passport holders are exempted from visa requirements and can stay in Taiwan for 30 days, provided that they have never worked in Taiwan as blue-collar workers.
Aside from the Philippines, the visa exemption also applies to passport holders of India, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia who also possess a valid visa or permanent residence certificate issued by the US, Canada, Japan, U.K., Schengen Convention countries, Australia or New Zealand.
Citizens of the eligible countries who have never been employed in Taiwan as blue-collar workers have to first register their documents and personal data with the “Advance Online Registration System for the Visitors of Nationals from Five Southeast Asian Countries to Taiwan” at https://nas.immigration. gov.tw/nase/.
A confirmation sheet should be printed to validate the travelers’ status for online boarding and immigration check. Travelers who fail to produce the confirmation or a valid visa or permanent residence certificate issued by eligible countries will not be admitted into Taiwan.

You mean kung walang visa sa japan, us, eu, canada, australia, we need to apply for a taiwan visa pa rin? Are they really strict? I’m a very frequent traveller. I have a multiple visa in China coz I do business there. Marami ba silang na dedeny? Coz I already bought a round trip ticket to taiwan and my only purpose is to travel.

Hi, po ask ko lang sana if we need to get tourist visa for travelling in TAIWAN? and what are the requirements needed for this? I am planing to go to TAIWAN for my fiance since he is working there i just want to visit his place, please advise as soon as available…
there’s been a lot of confusion here. i’ll try to make it clear although malinaw naman ang sagot ng iba.
VISA Free IF:
1. you have a valid visa or permanent residence certificate issued by the US, Canada, Japan, U.K., Schengen Convention countries, Australia or New Zealand.
2. you have never worked a blue collar job in Taiwan.
if you fail in one, then you need to apply and pay for a visa. these rules are not flexible.

very nice!….
thats a very great news for me.
visa free entry only if you have a valid US VIsa
so I think the write up is misleading
Hi there,
Im going to Taipei in2 weeks, i have a filipino passport and a new zealand resident with a valid passport…since i dont need a visa to enter Taiwan for 30 days.
Would i still need to register to https://nas.immigration. gov.tw/nase/….and have it printed?
Ive registered last week and i didnt realise that it didnt need me to put in the date that i will be going to Taipei so it approved it right away. Can i still reapply for this and just print it out on the day that im leaving? so the expiry date for this would be thr right one?
Thank you. Much appreciated.
tanong klng kc ung misis k nag apply po s taiwan. maganda ang ugali ng mga tao sa taiwan. at ung amkor taiwan ayos nman kya
I am leaving for Taiwan this April for a medical trip. I am a holder of Philippine passport with a new US Visa attach. Do I need to get a Taiwan Visa for my trip?
In protest over the unjustifiable deportation of 14 Taiwan nationals by Philippine government to mainland China, Philippine nationals are no longer eligible to apply for an authorization certificate for visa-free entry into Taiwan. Check the site below.
https://nas.immigration.gov.tw/nase/
I hate it… Why the Philippine Government deported the 14 Taiwan Nationals to Mainland China…They supposed to deport them in Taiwan. I cannot go to Taiwan now enjoying the visa-free entry in Taiwan provided you hold visa of Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Schengen countries, United Kingdo…m and United States.
I went in USA last Oct 16, 2010. My connecting flight was in Taiwan Airport. I was able to use this priviledge.. I went out of Taiwan Airport because I have US visa and have a approved certification.
One April 10, 2011 I will be back to Manila, Philippines via Taiwan Airport. Sad to say I can no longer get out of the Taiwan Airport because of this issue…
i definitely agree with John! all the comment and answers are very confusing! and the title of this is completely misleading.
thanks for all the info though.
i visited taiwan last oct 2010..i stayed in my gf house kaya nakatipid. and since sya ung naginvite madali lang process ala masyadong tanong sa visa application.. she’s taiwanese by the way.. very nice place dun..enjoy sa mga papunta:)
ask lamang po!kailangan din po ba ng visa kahit na 7 hours lang ang stay sa taipei,taiwan?masyado kasing matagal ang aming hihintayin bago ang eroplano kaya naisip ko lang na maaari siguro akong magtingin tingin sa Taipei…
2 days lang ang plan namin mag tour sa taiwan, do we also need to apply for a tourist visa?
Wow this site is very helpful. We are planning to visit Taiwan next week.
Whether you stay there for 1 day or just hours as long as you enter Taiwan – you need a visa.
