I was curious about this, too, but cannot find anywhere that says transit to or from China has resumed: News-Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (taoyuan-airport.com) So I called CI in Taipei and they said if you fulfil the requirements to fly from BKK to PVG they will check you in and you can fly. But the agent added that currently you need to do two PCR tests at 48 and 24 hours beforehand (before landing?) so make sure that you can do that. She also suggested calling CI in BKK or emailing them [email protected].
Immigration in Tiapei will probably not stop you, I have done this many times before. But on occasion I had a bit of a hangup with the airline at the gate or lounge (SQ and CX) because the airport exit tax was not included on the ticket and they wanted that paid. When a transit passenger goes through Immigration it is somehow flagged in their system. |

You're right! In that case no big deal, just have a credit card handy at the gate if they ask to pay the airport tax!

Thanks, guys. I ended up calling CI in Taipei to confirm their official policy, and they advised me to book as multi-city/stopover (so as not to be recorded as a transit passenger in their system, though I wonder who would care) and all would be good. The price didn't change at all.

We expect a report! ;)
We had a great time and wouldn't hesitate to recommend visiting. |
Hi, can anyone please advise on the transit requirements at TPE when flying China Airlines (not entering Taiwan but transiting to another flight)? Are people still herded into a separate area, or do they now have access to the terminal/lounges etc? Thanks in advance.

You're free to walk around. The lounges might be closed or have random hours: https://news.china-airlines.com/bvct/VipLounge. Duty free stores are open as are some restaurants (both before and after security).
Also the dentist lost the election |
Great, thanks.

The mask mandate is still supposed to be lifted in early December or something https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4728700. Also the dentist lost the election

Testing

9 hours layover in Taipei
Just came back from KIX/TPE/SFO on CI with a 9 hours layover in TPE and went into Taipei on US passport.
All you need is to fill out the declaration form they hand out in the plane on arrival. For address in Taipei just use the flight information leaving TPE (in my case TPE/SFO) and show the boarding pass to the border control officer (I didn’t know this. The officer fill out for me). Then off I go into taipei. They will still give you the test kit but I didn’t use them and brought them home. The CI lounges are open with showers. I used the showers on my way to japan but when I tried to used them at night after my little sojourn into Taipei the showers were fully occupied with a long wait list. Taipei was 80 degree and humid 🙄. Have fun. |
Brains trust - I'm flying MEL > TPE and then onwards to Nagoya via a separate booking (4hr layover), with checked bags.
Does anyone foresee issues with having no hotel address during immigration, and no boarding pass for an outbound flight either (because need to check bags in again at TPE) ? Thanks in advance! |
Question for those that have recently visited...do you do 5 days of self-monitor in one location, and not go into public? I have a family member that just did that...but I was under the impression that self-monitor didn't mean "stay indoors and not go out".
