The good news is that now there are no mandatory rules to undergo any PCR test or quarantine after reaching Taiwan. With the lifting of all the major COVID-19 entry restrictions, it is now a good time to explore here. Though PCR tests and quarantining are not mandatory now, visitors will need to undergo a rapid antigen test on the day of arrival. A negative report of this antigen test is necessary.

Also, a major thing that the tourists need to follow on arrival to this country is they need to monitor their health for a week. If anyone plans to explore the places in between the monitoring week, a negative test report is required. The negative report needs to be of the day of travel or the day prior to that.
