Taiwan blends Japanese efficiency with Chinese culture, mountain scenery with bustling night markets, and hot springs with coastal cliffs. Taipei dominates tourism, but the island's small size makes regional escapes easy: beaches, tea plantations, and aboriginal culture lie just hours away, accessible by excellent public transit.

Taiwan Taoyuan (TPE) near Taipei is the primary hub; Kaohsiung (KHH) in the south handles secondary arrivals. Both are modern and organized. Immigration uses automated gates; queues form during peak hours but move steadily, usually 10–20 minutes end-to-end. English signage and staff are good, especially at Taoyuan.

Taiwan entry notes: Bureau of Consular Affairs, Visa-Exempt Entry and arrival card

Taiwan's rules vary sharply by passport: some travelers have 90-day visa-exempt entry, some 30 or 14 days, and others need a visitor visa or eVisa route.

The Bureau of Consular Affairs maintains Taiwan's Visa-Exempt Entry list, including duration by nationality and special passport conditions.
Visa-exempt travelers must still meet entry conditions such as passport validity, onward or return ticket, and admissibility at the port of entry.
Taiwan asks travelers to complete the online arrival card within three days before arriving, according to BOCA's remarks.
