Hey, this might not be the place but, as of right now, when leaving Taiwan by plane (from Taoyuan), are you required anything specific from the Taiwanese Airport Authorities in terms of covid test (antigen, PCR, vaccination) other than the required by your landing destination?
I know it sounds a bit wack if they did, but I just wonder if anyone has first-hand recent experience or written statements of such?
Other than what is required at your port of entry (and, if applicable, transit airport and airline), the answer I think is “no.”

When I flew to Canada about a month ago on EVA, there were no requirements for anything on the Taiwanese side.

There are very few exceptions left where you need something else than a vaccination card & Visa depending on your passport. https://www.kayak.com/travel-restrictions? seems to be fairly accurate. It lists 172 countries as open, 30 requiring pre-departure test, 3 requiring quarantine and 22 as closed.
With a USA passport countries still fully closed are
- Taiwan (Yeah, Taiwan number #1)
- China
- Turkmenistan
- Syria
- Libya
- Cameroon
- Yemen
- Some smaller Africans nations (Eswatini, Lesotho etc)
Puts its into perspective how idiotic our border rules here in Taiwan really are. Thankfully going out of Taiwan only the rules of the destination matter hence going out is now very straightforward.

So much for BA.5 exploding (maybe that won’t age well, but you’d think there would be an increase by now).
Ah, but it could have exploded if we hadn’t all been dutifully wearing masks, and keeping the borders closed. It is only the wisdom of the CECC that has preserved us from such a fate.

I wonder how they’re going to “pivot the narrative” when patients dying of cancer aren’t testing positive for the lurgy anymore? I guess they’ll have to crank up the PCR threshold to 45 cycles again.

There’ll be people who will forever be hooked by the candy that CECC promises them if they just “wait a little bit longer” before the “next” variant is past…

In light of high demand and manageable risks, we are expanding the capacity of inbound travelers to Taiwan from 40,000 per week to 50,000, effective immediately

This is so funny😂
Some European countries are fully opened and they have far less covid cases than Taiwan which is still closed for tourists:joy:
