As of 2026-08-18
This is the Promotions & vouchers item for a trip to Taiwan. The 3 checkpoints below can only be settled properly before you leave — put them off and you queue at an airport desk or spend the first day on them instead. Work through them once and nothing has to be reopened.
Key checkpoints
- You must apply on the official event site between 7 days and 1 day before you arrive in Taiwan
- Scan the QR code at the event desk in the arrivals hall (Taoyuan, Songshan and others) to see immediately whether you won
- Winners receive an EasyCard or iPASS e-voucher, usable straight away in convenience stores, on transport and in restaurants
What to do before departure, in order
Two rules decide the order. First, anything with a deadline — pre-registration, bookings, documents to be issued: miss the cut-off and there is no substitute. Then whatever also works locally, which costs little to postpone.
Most of the items above can only be done before you leave. After arrival, patchy connectivity and opening hours make them harder, so finish what you can while you are still at home.
What to pay attention to in Taiwan
Entry to Taiwan is relatively simple, but schemes that need an application in advance — such as tourism incentives — run in fixed windows, and a missed window cannot be reopened.
In typhoon season, leave slack in the itinerary for flight changes.

Official sources behind this article
The steps, fees and deadlines above were checked against 1 official source listed below — pages published by the body that runs the scheme itself, with the issuing institution named after each. Where they disagree with this page, they are right. Fees and forms change without notice, so open them once more before you travel.
Baggage rules covered by this article
3 items named in this article are also governed by airport screening and airline rules. Check the cabin/checked verdict before you split your bags. The verdicts below are about what may fly; an item the destination country bans outright is a separate matter.
The rules behind those baggage verdicts
The baggage verdicts above follow from 2 Korean rules listed below, named in the original Korean because that is how they are indexed at the national law database. These are the rules themselves, not an airline summary — when screening staff disagree, this is the text that decides. What they settle is whether an item may fly; an item the destination country bans outright is governed by that country's own rules.
