The Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO) announced Tuesday evening that the Philippines has extended the visa-free entry policy for Taiwan passport holders until 2027. The extension, as reported by BusinessWorld, aims to maintain reciprocity in visa-free privileges between the two sides.
Under the extended policy, Taiwan passport holders may stay in the Philippines for up to 14 days without obtaining a visa. The advisory from MECO did not specify further details about the terms, but the measure is seen as fostering people-to-people exchanges and tourism between the Philippines and Taiwan.
The extension comes as both sides continue to enjoy visa-free arrangements, with Taiwan also granting similar privileges to Philippine passport holders. The policy is expected to benefit travelers and strengthen economic and cultural ties.
