I was reading this:

https://hdhq.mohw.gov.tw/Default1?openExternalBrowser=1

The point no 4 there says login into the system 48 hours before flying in. I can see only 1 link there which is for the quarantine hotels. Does anyone know what system they’re talking about?

There is a form to fill out with details of your flight number, etc. Do it 48 hours before for accuracy. It will save you time, as they will send you a link and put you ahead of the line. Faster, simpler.

Sorry I still cannot see that form. Could you please post a link to it

Follow the link. Put in the number code at the bottom of the screen. The form shows up on the next page.

Yes, but in my experience this is ahem optimistic.

Better to say “And wait to have a quarantine-taxi stand guy spritz you from the neck down, including your shoe soles, with an alcohol solution.”

If that’s actually “proper” disinfection, then I stand corrected. And maybe things have changed since April 29.

Thank you. Wasn’t able to see it clearly on mobile.

At the airport now. It still amazes me people don’t know how to wear a mask at this point with their noses out.

Just watched a lady rub her eyes for a good 30 seconds. And then picked her nose in front of me. Idk what’s wrong with people.

Where are you going to?

Oh, interesting! I guess Japan is loosening up flight restrictions? I actually had a flight from TPE to SFO booked for September, with a 4-hour layover at NRT. However, based on what I read online (link below), Japan is currently not allowing foreigners to even transit through Japan (at least through August 31, may be extended). So I canceled that flight to be safe and booked a direct with China Airlines.

A friend of a friend was trying to get back to Russia but it would have taken him 1 month to get home. Two stopovers with 14 days quarantine he was told.

Taiwan.

Not that I want Americans coming now.

My classmate took like 3 days to get to the old country, 3 stopovers. Long stopovers. There is only one flight in and it leaves from the US, but not from LAX or any other place you can get a direct connection from Taiwan. Friggin nightmare if you ask me.

She said lots of people traveling. Full airports. Mask wearing still spotty.

Now I got a pal in a more serious pickle. Her passport expires end of year, there is no office that can deal with it here. Going to HK or other nearby place is a logistical nightmare. Don’t know what to do.

Singapore airport flight awaiting departure to China.
