Travelling to Taiwan?

Everything you need for Taiwan, sorted before you land: data, visa, insurance and lounges.

TRIP FILE DATA

Night markets where dinner costs three euros, a marble gorge cut by a river, and the friendliest island in Asia by most accounts. Taiwan is the size of Belgium plus a bit, has mountains over three thousand metres, and a train that goes round the lot.

Travel notes for Taiwan

TW / FIELD NOTES

OVERVIEW

The lay of the land

Taiwan is an island, so the map lies: two points that look close can be a ferry and half a morning apart. Count the transfers as part of the plan, not as the admin between plans.

STAYING CONNECTED

Data the moment you land

The eSIM installs at home, on wifi, with no rush, and switches itself on when you land. Plans run from 1 GB to 20 GB, valid up to 30 days. It’s the difference between walking off the plane looking for a counter and walking off the plane ordering a car.

WHEN TO GO

Timing your trip

Summer in Taiwan lands between June and August, and the prices and the queues come with it. If you can pick, May or September give you the same place with fewer people and less heat.

MONEY

Paying your way

Tipping is a local custom, not a universal one: in some countries it’s built into the bill, in others it’s an insult, and in others it’s how the staff actually get paid. Ask once when you arrive and you’ll stop guessing at every table.

ENTRY

Documents & cover

Some countries ask for a yellow fever certificate depending on where you’ve been, not where you live: a layover can be enough to trigger it. Check the requirement against your actual route, stopovers included.

LANGUAGE

Getting understood

Download the area map before you leave home: it works with no signal and it saves the day you land and the eSIM takes a minute to latch on. With an offline map and a translator ready, getting lost stops being a problem and becomes a plan.
