Taiwanese awarded visa free travel to the US




Good news for Taiwanese passport holders, they can now visit the US without a visa! On November 1st, Taiwan gained entrance to the United States visa waiver program, a select group of 38 countries that can visit the US without the need for a visa. The other countries are:
-Andorra
-Australia
-Austria
-Belgium
-Brunei
-Canada
-Czech Republic
-Denmark
-Estonia
-Finland
-France
-Germany
-Greece
-Hungary
-Iceland
-Ireland
-Italy
-Japan
-Latvia
-Liechtenstein
-Lithuania
-Luxembourg
-Malta
-Monaco
-Netherlands
-New Zealand
-Norway
-Portugal
-San Marino
-Singapore
-Slovakia
-Slovenia
-South Korea
-Spain
-Switzerland
-Sweden
-United Kingdom

and now Taiwan!
Taiwanese are beginning to enjoy more and visa free travel. Just last year, the EU gave them visa free access to the Schengen Area.

This news however, is making Hong Kongers a little upset. Despite years of lobbying and already having extensive visa free travel privileges, Hong Kong passport holders are still being left out of the visa waiver program.

This is in contrast to their mainlander counterparts who can't really go anywhere without visas.

So if you're Taiwanese, now is the perfect time to see the USA! I hope you enjoy your stay.
