Taiwan is quite far from our respective countries, both geographically and culturally. It’s normal, and healthy, to have practical questions. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Let’s take this opportunity to address recurring questions that our travelers often ask about our structure and our team. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

If you are a European or Quebec citizen, you automatically get a 90-day tourist visa without any formalities. Vaccination passport validation must be done at boarding or via the airline’s website before boarding. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

With a crime rate per capita lower than Japan, I think we can consider the island extremely safe. Since the country is not heavily visited and is very wealthy, there are no scams or “tourist traps” either. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Only if it is accompanied by a valid international driving permit. Drivers under 25 may have difficulty renting a vehicle. Please note that in France, an international permit takes 3 months to be issued. Plan ahead! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In big cities, you will always find an English speaker. In the countryside, much less so. Nevertheless, Taiwanese people are very welcoming and will always take the time to assist you, helped by their magic phones. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Most businesses in the city accept credit cards. However, night markets, street vendors, and shops outside major cities prefer to operate with cash. Always keep some paper money on you. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

No problem at all. You can book a Wi-Fi router or a SIM card before you arrive and pick it up at the airport, or get an e-SIM. You can also ask us; it’s a service we provide. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes, we are not in China. No social networks, websites, or online services are blocked or censored. You are free to access them, but in moderation \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes, of course. Our offices are located in Songshan & Wanhua in Taipei; however, our team isn’t large enough to provide daily staffing and we are often out exploring around the island. <\/p>\n

If you would like to meet us, contact us and let’s make an appointment!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Taking the time difference into account, of course! We prefer this method of exchange anyway, as it’s more pleasant, efficient, and allows us to get to know each other easily. We also use WhatsApp, Line, and Skype. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Of course! We have selected dozens of addresses, ranging from classic to unique accommodations over the years, and we are certain of their quality and fair pricing. <\/p>\n

But if you prefer to book other accommodations yourself, we will adapt to your decision and integrate those addresses into your itinerary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
