Tiawan visa?

Question

i ahve a ten hour layover in taiwan and was wondering if we need a visa to leave the airport or we can just leave and come back...

Answer 1

Im not sure where you are from...
Im from New Zealand, and I didnt need anything more than my passport, and I was able to stay in Taiwan for a maximum of 14 days without a visa.
Did that last week, so its a very accurate answer. Best place is to check with the Taiwan embassy, or online.

The airport is about an hours drive from Taipei, bit more if you are wanting to go further in.

I would recommend you go to the 101 building, it sits atop a large shopping mall, with GREAT restaurants. Then you can take the free bus to the metro and then metro to Xu Men which is a young persons area, vibrant, and lots of shopping. Great haircuts in Taiwan too! After that, I guess it would be just about time to head back to the airport.

Street stall food is fantastic in Taipei, dont be scared! Enjoy your time there.

Answer 2

I assume you meant Taiwan, not Thailand. (It's amazing how many times people confuse them!)
