Taipei Tours FAQs - Plan Your Taipei Tours Worry-Free

• 

  1. Do I need a visa to visit Taiwan?

  
  It depends on your nationality.
  1.Visa-free: Many countries, including Japan, South Korea, the US, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, and most EU nations, enjoy visa-free entry for short stays/tourism (typically 14–90 days). Special rules: Thailand, Brunei, Philippines enjoy visa-free access until July 2026.
  2.E-Visa: An e-Visa is required for others (e.g., Kuwait, Sri Lanka; apply online 10+ days ahead).
  3.Visa required: Apply in advance for nationalities like India or Brazil.
  Always double-check the latest regulations for your specific nationality with the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office (TECRO) in your country before you fly to Taiwan, as rules can change.
  Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay.

  2. What is the best time to visit Taiwan?

  
  The best time to visit Taiwan is spring and autumn due to mild weather. Avoid summer (June–August) if possible due to occasional typhoons and summer heat (30°C+).
  1.Spring (March to May): A great time, with pleasant temperatures and blooming flowers (cherry blossoms in early spring!).
  2.Autumn (October to December): This is generally considered the best time. The weather is comfortably mild, skies are often clear, and it's less humid. Perfect for exploring!
  3.Summer (June to September): It gets very hot and humid, and it's also typhoon season. While you can still visit, be prepared for rain, heat, and potential disruptions.
  4.Winter (January to February): Mild in the north, but it can get surprisingly chilly, especially in Taipei, with frequent rain. Southern Taiwan is generally warmer. If you're looking for hot springs, winter is fantastic! Chinese New Year (usually Jan/Feb) is a festive time, but many smaller shops and restaurants might be closed, and transportation can be crowded.

  Braised Pork Rice (滷肉飯, Lǔ Ròu Fàn): A comforting classic.

  Stinky Tofu (臭豆腐, Chòu Dòufu): Don't be scared by the smell – it's a rite of passage!
  Bubble Tea (珍珠奶茶, Zhēnzhū Nǎichá): The original!
  Vegetarian: Taiwan is very vegetarian-friendly due to its large Buddhist population. Look for restaurants with the "素食" (sùshí) sign, which means vegetarian. Many places offer mock meats and a huge variety of vegetable dishes. Even at night markets, you'll find vegetarian options.
  Explore Night Markets like Shilin (Taipei), Liuhe (Kaohsiung), and Fengjia!

  Respect at Temples: Dress modestly (shoulders and knees covered) when visiting temples. Be mindful of ongoing rituals.
  Bargaining: Generally not common in shops, though you might try a little at night markets, but it's not expected.
  Greetings: Bow slightly; use “xiè xie” (thank you) and “duō shǎo qián?” (How much?).

  Layers: Depending on the season, pack layers as the weather can change, especially in mountainous areas.
