Taiwan passport holders can now enter PH visa-free

The Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO) said it is extending the visa-free entry policy to Taiwan passport holders.

Starting July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, travelers from Taiwan may enter and stay in the Philippines for up to 14 days without a visa.

According to a report of the Philippine News Agency, the Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO) said the visa extension is intended to reciprocate Taiwan’s visa-free entry scheme for Filipinos traveling to Taiwan.

“The Manila Economic and Cultural Office is pleased to announce that, in line with the Philippine government's directive to observe reciprocity in the visa-free privileges granted to Philippine passport holders traveling to Taiwan, Taiwan passport holders may enter the Philippines without a visa for a stay not exceeding fourteen (14) days,” it said.

The visa-free privilege for Taiwan passport holders is non-extendible and non-convertible to other Philippine visa categories.

Any individuals planning to stay in the Philippines for more than 14 days are required to secure the appropriate visa before entry, MECO said.
