Taiwan extends visa-free entry for Pinoy travelers until July 2025

Good news, Filipino travelers!

If Taiwan is part of your travel bucket list, you’d be happy to know that you may go there without a visa until July 31, 2025.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) on Tuesday, June 4 announced that nationals of the Philippines, along with Thailand and Brunei, have been granted visa-free entry for another year—after a period of evaluation of the effectiveness of the measures they set over the past years.

You can stay in Taiwan for a maximum of 14 days.

Diplomatic, official, and service passport holders are not eligible for visa exemption.

“MOFA will continue to review and fine-tune visa policies, with a view to strengthening bilateral exchanges and attracting more visitors while ensuring border and public security,” it said in a statement. “MOFA will also continue to communicate with the governments of related countries to enhance visa treatment for Taiwan nationals and make their overseas travel more convenient.”

Taiwan updates its annual visa-free bulletin every year. It resumed visa-free travel for Filipinos from Aug. 1, 2023 to July 31, 2024.

The country began easing its borders to international travelers in September 2022 amid its continued recovery from the global pandemic.
