^used single entry visa hindi na pwede gamitin sis. Unless manggagaling ka sa bansa ng visa mo.

[krabby_patty]

Thanks girls. How about if it's used once, multiple entry?

^ I think my friend just brought her US visa and no other docs. I don't want to ask her kasi medyo touchy subject pa ata.

[valhiei_11]

^ multiple ang visa ok lang. pwedeng wede yan basta dont forget kumuha ng travel certificate sa website nila

[krabby_patty]

Whew! Thanks @valhiei_11 for the confirmation!

I will be leaving for Taipei next week. So excited! I hope the weather clears up. Ok lang kahit mainit, basta no typhoon! Sharing a few tips for those who are applying for a Taiwan visa

1. In RCBC, the line for TECO is right beside the door leading to the reception, right beside the baggage scanner. NOT at the smoking area. Mali ako ng pinilahan. Medyo late na when I realized I was at the wrong waiting area.
2. Prepare a photocopy of all the required documents.
3. Bring a valid government issued ID to be left at the reception, otherwise, bring P1000 "deposit" and leave any other card in exchange for a visitor's pass.
4. When your number is called, remove the documents from the folder/clearbook/envelope. I got snapped at for not doing this. Slide it into the very small window.
5. Listen very closely to what the officer is saying from the other side of the glass window. They are not very friendly so make their job easier for them nalang.

Not really! Kahit 2-3 years pa yan, basta multiple visa nakalagay, no problem

Just a questin mga sisses, possible ba to use a US Visa na C1/D for application ng Taiwan single entry visa? I am an OFW, and I use my US Visa na C1/D (for seafares) sa work ko. Plan ko sana is next year, when I go back to Philippines, imbis na diretcho ako ng Pinas, mag stop over ako sa Taiwan for 5 days. Possible kaya yun? or permanent resident or B2 Visa (tourist) lang accepted ng Taiwan government sa application?

[BillionaireMom]

Just got back from Taiwan last Monday night. Ang init dun! Parang dito lang sa Pinas. Di ko masyado na enjoy ang trip kasi puro lakad. Matanda na ako at di ko na kaya talaga ang lakad ng lakad. Plus ang init pa.

Tips:
-if you're staying in the city, try CityStar restaurant. 24hours sya, Here is the address 2F., No.166, Sec. 4, Zhongxiao E. Rd., Da’an Dist., Taipei City 106
-if you re riding the bus, be sure that you have the exact amount. walang sukli dun.
-you need a lot of patience kasi may language barrier talaga. mahirap mag ask ng directions kasi di kayo magkakaintindihan.

Is it a stroller/wheelchair friendly city? Will be visiting this December with my then 1.5 year old and stroller is a must. How is it like commuting? Priority seats for mothers with infants ba sa buses and trains? Or parang dito lang satin na wa pakels.

We just got back from Australia it was lovely to travel with my 1 year old with all the family room/diaper changing room and priority seats. Never had to stand up sa bus even if its full.

May priority seats sa bus and mrt as well. Different color ang silya for priority seats. Not sure lang for diaper changing rooms. Di ko napansin.

[choco_loka]

Taipei is stroller-friendly city... Daming locals nagco-commute lang with their babies. May elevator sa lahat ng MRT, pati diaper changing stations and breastfeeding room (select mrt stops)... 

[valhiei_11]

Hi, sino na nakapagAirnB dito? Pwede bang iwan ang gamit tas babalikan nalang ng gabi? Thanks!

[runbarbierun]

^ Depende sa host We stayed at A+ Design Hostel via Airbnb before, hindi pwede mag-iwan kasi walang bantay. Pero sinabi naman nila samin na pwedeng iwan sa SOGO Department Store (which was across lang our hostel) so okay na rin. PM your host nalang kung pwede

[cutiepie]

question ladies, yung winter  ba ng taiwan is a wet winter type? like umuulan? or malamig lang talaga?

i am thinking of spending the first week of january in taipei. ok na ba 3 days for first timer? may nakastay na ba sa city inn hotel? magkakatabi lang ba branches nila?

thanks!

[andreil_19]

^ usually sis, malamig lang talaga.

[ewi_316]

hi mga sis, will be going to taiwan early sept.  kamusta kaya weather by then? maulan pa rin kaya? also, madali lang ba pumunta ng yangmingshan and beitou? il be traveling with my mom who's at her 60s, recommended ba pumunta dun? and whats the easiest way to go there? will be staying at ximending area

thank you in advance

[choco_loka]

@ewi _316
weather's a little cooler na, medyo maulan nga lang ngayon. you can take the mrt to beitou/xinbeitou for the hotsprings. then from there pwede kayo mag bus to yangmingshan, or pag pagod na mag cab nalang. siguro around 200 lang un kasi magkalapit lang sila.
