There are so many amazing things to do in Taipei, Taiwan. I was so lucky that I spent 25 days on my third and 26 days on my fourth visit.
Do you need a visa in Taiwan?
During my first visit in 2016, I was eligible for a visa-free stay in Taiwan because of Japan visa. The travel authorization certification allowed me to stay 30 days. I spent 4 days and 3 nights in Taipei for less than US$200.
After that, there is a visa exemption for Philippine passport holders. It allows staying for 14 days in Taiwan, effective until July 31, 2023.
Taiwan is my alternative to Japan when the latter becomes expensive. So going to the capital city of Taipei is my alternative to Tokyo.
