Taipei, June 27 (CNA) Taiwan will extend its trial period of visa-free privileges to three
Southeast Asian nations by one year until July 31, 2019, Minister without Portfolio Chang Ching-sen (張景森) said Wednesday.
The decision to extend the trial period for another year for the Philippines, Thailand and Brunei was reached at an inter-ministerial meeting earlier this month, Chang said.
He said that in order to better manage the program, however, visitors from the three countries will be granted visa-free stays of no more than 14 days.
Currently, Thai and Brunei citizens are allowed to stay in Taiwan for a maximum 30 days on visa free entry, while Filipinos are given up to 14 days. [FULL STORY]
