Taiwan's Bureau of Consular Affairs (BOCA) announced yesterday, June 4, that it has extended its visa-exempt policy to Philippine passport holders for up to 14 days until July 31 next year.
The Philippines' current visa-free benefit which was
announced on June 30 last year is set to expire on July 31 this year.
However, Filipino seafarers, aircraft crew members or
service personnel who are intending to board to report for duty are ineligible
for the visa-free entry.

The requirements for the visa-free access for Philippine
passport holders are:
-
A passport with remaining validity of at least
six months as of the date of entry
-
A confirmed return air/sea ticket or air/sea
ticket and a visa for the next destination, and
-
A confirmed seat reservation for a return flight
or departure to another desitnation

Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) in the Philippines, has previously said
that Taiwan had seen "great potential" in its tourism partnership
with the Philippines because it is geographically the closest country to the
island state.
