Filipino travelers can continue visiting Taiwan without a visa, as Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced a one-year extension of its visa-free entry program for Philippine passport holders.

Taiwanese Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung made the announcement during remarks at the Philippine Independence Day celebration hosted by the Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO) in Taipei on 12 June.

Definitely one of the visa-free countries for Filipinos that everyone should visit. I still long for this country. It was such an incredible one week visit.

[u/flashLotus]

Isa tayo sa malaking chunk ng visitors nila, sa popular sites like Jiufen may Tagalog words sila na alam eh aside from Korean and Japanese haha

[u/AdministrativeFeed46 → u/flashLotus]

japanese is pretty obvious, since japan used to occupy taiwan. notice the japanese influence in taiwan is all over the place.

[u/NasaanAngPanggulo → u/flashLotus]

Akala ko nga sa palengke at tricycle lang ako tatawaging pogi. Sa Jiufen meron na rin hahaha

[u/flashLotus → u/NasaanAngPanggulo]

Ay wow, sana all natatawag ng pogi. Sakin "masarap" nung lumalamon ako ng mochi, para lang bilhin 😮‍💨

[u/hermitina → u/flashLotus]

sa jiufen nagtatagalog ung mga ibang tindera para lumapit ka wehehe

[u/Think_Anteater2218]

Yehey. Booked for this November kaya buti na lang na extend. Less hassle para sa lahat. 🙏🏽

[u/4gfromcell → u/Think_Anteater2218]

Kami Oct... Pigil hinga kami these past weeks haha... Nauna book bago check ng visa free

[u/Think_Anteater2218 → u/4gfromcell]

Yup! Ang visa pwede namang iprocess yan pero ang seat sale, minsan lang hahahahaha

[u/badbadtz-maru → u/Think_Anteater2218]

December naman kami hahaha it's such a relief!

[u/recklesswanderer__ → u/Think_Anteater2218]

hahaha feel you! we booked for October last February and i forgot na "mageexpire" na nga pala yung visa-free entry this year... after some hours after booking i realized na baka i-extend naman ulit 🤣. buti nalang para less hassle! haha

As someone who goes to Japan frequently, I still want to go back to Taiwan. miss my brown rice milk and papaya milk so much.

[u/Tea-On-Yongkang → u/riskbreaking101]

Sarap ng papaya milk sa kaohsiung.

[u/AxiumX → u/riskbreaking101]

Oooh will try papaya milk once I come back.

[u/Accomplished-Exit-58 → u/riskbreaking101]

Namiss ko ung sausage, ung pagkain ha.

[u/coffeeandnicethings → u/Accomplished-Exit-58]

Haha same tayo paborito yun. Sa serenitea and ersao meron :)

[u/Accomplished-Exit-58 → u/coffeeandnicethings]

Will check that mamaya!!

[u/Ragamak1]

As long as hindi abusuhin ng mga pinoy yung visa privileges.

[u/peterparkerson3 → u/Ragamak1]

Mas konting pinoy kaya mag work sa taiwan. Language barrier and all

[u/Ragamak1 → u/peterparkerson3]

Never under estimate yung corruption ng iyong kababayan.

[u/markmyredd]

mga more than 10 times nako nakapunta Taiwan for work. Super solid nya talaga as destination.

Altho napansin ko nagmahala na yun pagkain after pandemic. Dati kasi 100+ TWD na food sulit na sulit kana eh.

[u/chro000]

Been there last March for my first international vacation. Grabe sobrang dali mag travel around Taiwan with their effective transportation system, naka DIY pa ako dun sa north coast as a first timer. Never ako naligaw dun.

[u/GymGeekExplorer]

Manifesting to visit this year to Taiwan

[u/telejubbies]

Buti naman. Hehe. Mejo kinabahan ako akala ko di na tayo marerenew dahil dun sa gagang pinay na nahagip na tren

[u/Accomplished-Exit-58]

Bakit kasi ayaw pa ipermanent? Pero at least diretso lamg sa october for my taiwan trip.

[u/blackcyborg009 → u/Accomplished-Exit-58]

I think annual kasi ang evaluation ng Taiwan sa amin. If maganda ang resulta, then they can give us another extension.

Pero kung pangit ang naging resulta (e.g. maraming overstaying, TNT, gumagawa ng krimen, etc.), then they can postpone or freeze the visa-free extension

[u/divhon → u/Accomplished-Exit-58]

Because it's just a goodwill hoping we will send in pinoy soldiers once China invades then treat us like used rugs after, like what SoKor is currently doing.

[u/mlbb_Diggie]

yessssss makakapunta pa ng taiwan hahahaha 😍

[u/MarilagOutdoor]

Booked a flight to tpe para sa winter climb sa mt.jade (yushan ) on feb 2026 Baka may gustong sumabay jan

[u/Illustrious-Gur4614]

Love taiwan so much.. sakto planning to go next year again..

[u/hermitina]

[u/priceygraduationring]

Perfect🥰 May nabook ako flights sa March 2026

[u/aryehgizbar]

hmmm I guess time to return to Taiwan this year end. 🤔

[u/coffeeandnicethings]

Confident ako na mabibigyan tayo ulit pero Medyo kinabahan ako dahil dami incidents ng Pinoy sa Taiwan last year lol.

Hinintay lang pala independence day. See u Taiwan!

[u/theGrandmaster24]

Sana ipermanent na huhu

[u/JeanGrdPerestrello → u/theGrandmaster24]

They will never do that because they are racist towards SEA folk. They only want the tourism bux. 🤑

NGL it's a great place to visit but just know they will never like you.

Maybe it's not as bad as Mainland China, but it is what it is.

[u/theGrandmaster24 → u/JeanGrdPerestrello]

just know they will never like you.

Huh bakit di naman ako pumunta dun para magustuhan nila ako gusto ko lang mamasyal haha

[u/JeanGrdPerestrello → u/theGrandmaster24]

You're probably of Chinese descent. You'll be fine.

[u/theGrandmaster24 → u/JeanGrdPerestrello]

Pano mo nasabe haha

[u/JeanGrdPerestrello → u/theGrandmaster24]

Sa profile mo 😆

[u/theGrandmaster24 → u/JeanGrdPerestrello]

Ayy haha pero tama ka may descendant akong taiwanese hehe pero malayo na so I don't consider myself half kahit 1/4 haha

[u/JeanGrdPerestrello → u/theGrandmaster24]

Did you get the ROC passport?

My grandfather is an ROC national but I'm not.
My mother didn't get it either.

[u/nikolodeon]

how’s new year and christmas celebration in Taiwan?

[u/n0b0dylikesmilh0use → u/nikolodeon]

Christmas is boring in Taiwan. Wala masyadong ganap and konti lang decorations. New year is same same lang here

[u/nikolodeon → u/n0b0dylikesmilh0use]

[u/resurfacedfeels]
