Taiwanese authorities have announced that they are shortening the COVID-19 quarantine requirement.

  • Travelers will be required to complete self-health management for an additional four days after the mandatory quarantine ends.
  • Those entering Taiwan must complete the online health form within 48 hours before departure, have proof of a negative PCR test taken within two days before their scheduled flight and take a PCR test upon arrival.
  • Individuals can leave to work or buy necessities after the fourth day of mandatory quarantine if they have proof of a negative rapid test.
