What to check before departure
Check charger and device labels for support for 110V.
Bring a light umbrella and quick-drying clothes for brief showers and humid weather.
Prepare for cash payments at night markets and other places, and check transport card coverage.
Prepare according to city and season
Prepare for rain in spring
Rain may continue for periods in spring. Bring an umbrella and a small bag to separate wet items.
Check typhoon notices in summer
Typhoons may affect summer travel. Check forecasts and flight and rail notices before departure and during your trip.
When checking voltage
Check the input voltage of Korean 220V-only products first. Prepare a Type A or compatible grounded adapter.
Start step by step with documents and reservations
Check visa conditions with Taiwan’s Bureau of Consular Affairs, and TWAC eligibility and submission timing in the National Immigration Agency’s official guidance.
Prepare your passport and reservations, and check entry conditions for your travel purpose, passport type, stay duration, and transit route. Note when you checked official guidance and recheck for changes before departure.
Pack for your itinerary
Items needed in Taiwan vary by city and season. Check your destination city’s forecast shortly before departure, and adjust clothing and everyday supplies to your accommodation’s amenities and laundry availability. You can add your own items to the common checklist.
