Taiwan Travel Advice

 
  • There have been reported cases of A (H1N1) Swine Flu in Taiwan, with the World Health Organization raising its Pandemic Threat Alert Phase to Level 6. Travelers with a temperature or those who exhibit symptoms of the illness will be subject to more testing and possible quarantine. Please be aware of local news reports and updates on any further developments of the outbreak.

  • The terrorism threat in Taiwan in low. This being the case, however, you should be aware of the risks involved with premeditated terrorist attacks. These attacks can occur in public places, especially in locations that expatriates and foreign visitors frequent.

  • Given the controversial political status of Taiwan in the world, there may be limited consular assistance for your home country there. It is important to get in touch with your home government about its relations to Taiwan and any entities or organizations that can be of service to you on your visit.

  • Taiwan’s stance on drugs is harsh. Anyone found guilty of smuggling, trafficking or possession of illicit substances will be dealt with in a harsh manner. Severe jail sentences and even the death penalty are applied to the worst offenders.

  • In Taiwan, the typhoon and tropical storm season typically goes from May through to November. Please keep up to date with weather reports and flight delays that may affect your travel plans.

  • It is recommended that you purchase comprehensive medical and travel insurance before making your trip to Taiwan. Be aware of exclusions, and that any activities you undertake will be covered by your policy.
