Airline Transit through Taipei, possible overnight

[KansasDragon 1]

I am traveling to the Philippines for Christmas, and then Annie is returning to the USA with me.

Our tickets take us into Taipei on Cebu Pacific Airlines the afternoon before our flight to the USA leaves on United Airlines.

Does anyone know what the rules or regulations are for a Filipina traveling through Taipei? I'm not sure if we are going to have to stay in the airport overnight, or whether we can leave for a Hotel for overnight.

hi! first, congrats on your visa approval!

well, i have some taiwanese friends living in taipei and last july, i planned to visit them. but then, i found it difficult to visit them since Taiwan requires a visa for Filipinos living there. so, i thought on postponing my visit there since I still need to do some paperworks to get a visa to enter taiwan. the visa costs around P2000.

so, if you plan to go out in the airport, you will be needing a visa for that.

congrats on your journey. you can check eva air if they have cheaper rates if you can still cancel your flight with united airlines.

God bless on your journey!

As long as you do not leave the airport, You are both equals at the airport.

You are just international travelers waiting on a connecting flight.
