Visa-free entry to Taiwan for Filipinos

by Betchay on March 24, 2009

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.

hi samantha! 15 years ago visa-free entry mga turistang pinoy sa korea… mismong pinoy govt nag-request sa korean govt na i-require ang visa sa mga turistang pinoy kasi naalarma pinoy govt na maraming hindi bumabalik sa pinas…

kapitbahay namin sa pinas at kuya ng kaklase ko noong college nakapasok ng korea visa-free after pumutok ang pinatubo…

Hello guys and gals…please huwag po kayong mag panic . I just want to make it clear to all of you whose always visiting this site na ANG VISA TO TAIWAN AS TOURIST AY MARAMI PONG CONDITION …JUST LIKE FREE VISA KA IF MERON KANG valid us/japan OR schengen or eu visa … if you dont have you still need to apply for a taiawan visa. 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…

bETTER THINK AND PLAN BAGO MAGTRAVEL DAHIL BAKA MAPASUBO KAYO SA IMMIGRATION NG TAIWAN AND KATAWATAWA ANG LABAS.

IN SHORT HINDI PO APPLICABLE ANG FREE VISA PARA SA MAY MGA ALANGANING ESTADO NG BUHAY “JUST FOR RICH” YEHEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I worked in taiwan before for 6 yrs together with my wife, and now I work here in japan as engineer visa for almost 3 and half years but my wife have only dependent visa here in japan. Can we avail a free visa to taiwan? We’re planning to take a vacation there next month.

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!
