Taiwan passport holders can enter the Philippines visa-free for 14 days

The Manila Economic and Culture Office (MECO) has announced that Taiwan passport holders may enter the Philippines visa-free for 14 days.

The move is in line with "reciprocity for visa-free privileges" granted to Philippine passport holders traveling to Taiwan.

"This effectively extends the same privilege granted to Taiwan passport holders last year, on July 1, 2025. As such, this visa-free privilege is non-extendible and non-convertible to other Philippine visa categories," MECO said in a statement.

MECO added that standard travel requirements and processes were in effect since July 1, 2025 remain in place.

For Taiwan passport holders who intend to stay in the Philippines for more than 14 days have to secure a visa before entry.

The above-stated regulations, MECO said, are in place from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027. — BAP, GMA News
