Japan Visa Perks
Japan Visa Ministry of Foreign Affairs Taiwan Philippine Passport Republic of China Taiwan Taiwan Visa for Philippine Tourists The Heart of Asia Travel Junkie Traveling Visa ExemptionWhen it comes to visa applications, I take it one country at a time. As a Philippine passport holder, I'm required to apply whenever I want to go to the US, Canada, Australia, etc. As of the moment I only have a valid multiple-entry Japan visa and little did I know that it has perks too! Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs recently announced a visa exemption program which permits a duration of stay up to 30 days.
This is good news to all Philippine passport holders with existing visa from the said countries. I wasn't expecting this after the 2013 Balintang incident that caused tension between the Philippines and Taiwan.
That's me holding my passport and showing off that multiple-entry visa from Japan. Want to know how I applied? Click here. I now have the option to fly to Taiwan anytime I want. ;) All I have to do is to apply online for a Travel Authorization Certificate.
Again, this visa-free travel to Taiwan is applicable only to passport holders from India, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines who posses a valid visa from the following countries: USA, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, UK and other Schengen Convention countries.
Apart from Taiwan, Philippine passport holders also have visa-free access to more than 20 countries. Maldives made it to the list, maybe I should visit near year 'no? :)
