Great news for Pinoy travellers: Taiwan has extended visa-free travel for Filipinos for another year, as announced by the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in the Philippines (TECO) on 23 July 2020. Effective from 1 August, Philippine passport holders will once again be granted visa-free entry to Taiwan until 31 July 2021.

Aimed at further promoting Taiwan’s New Southbound Policy, the extension of the visa-free programme will also be enjoyed by nationals from Thailand, Brunei, and Russia. According to statistics from the National Immigration industry, Taiwan has seen a significant increase in visitors from said countries since they first granted them visa-free privileges. With this, the country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs plans to continue fine-tuning visa-free measures, as they seek to attract more foreign visitors.
