PH extends visa-free entry to Taiwan passport holders

MANILA – The Philippines is extending its visa-free entry for Taiwan passport holders planning to travel and stay in the country for 14 days or less, starting July 1 until June 30, 2027, said the Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO) on Tuesday evening.

In an advisory, MECO said the extension is to reciprocate Taiwan’s no visa entry scheme for Filipinos traveling to Taiwan.
