Can I travel to Taiwan now?

Yes. There are currently 47 mainland cities open to independent travel in Taiwan Province, and Guilin, Guangxi is an open city for independent travel. If you have a Guilin household registration, you can travel to Taiwan independently. You only need to apply for a Taiwan pass and endorsement. Since the pilot program was launched on June 28, 2011, individual travel to Taiwan by mainland residents has been opened in five batches. A total of 47 mainland cities have visited Taiwan for individual travel, and the number of mainland travel groups to Taiwan has reached 311. Extended information: Free travel in Taiwan Province: 1. Free travel within Taiwan Province refers to mainland residents traveling to Taiwan for individual travel starting from June 28, 2011. Free travel in Taiwan is commonly known as "air tickets plus hotel". The travel agency arranges accommodation and transportation, but without a tour guide, travelers also arrange their own meals. Unlike semi-self-guided tours, passengers are limited in their choice of airline flights and hotels, but the flexibility of the itinerary is the same as semi-self-guided tours. 2. There are two types of qualifications for mainland tourists to travel to Taiwan independently: First, adults over 20 years old need to provide one of the financial certificates such as real estate, deposits or credit card limits; second, students over 18 years old do not need to provide financial certificates . 3. The proof of financial resources provided by mainland tourists can be a real estate certificate, a deposit certificate of NT$200,000 (approximately RMB 50,000), and an annual salary of NT$550,000 (approximately RMB 123,000) or more. The two sides of the Taiwan Strait do not adopt a margin system, but instead adopt a "double insurance" system. That is to say, on the one hand, mainland tourists need to provide a relative in the mainland as an emergency contact; on the other hand, the travel agency in Taiwan Province responsible for handling entry documents must also bear the responsibility of insurance. Both conditions are indispensable. 4. Mainland tourists traveling to Taiwan for independent travel must also purchase travel insurance worth more than NT$2 million, and the insurance amount must match the number of days of independent travel in Taiwan. According to the cross-strait plan, the number of mainland Chinese traveling to Taiwan for free travel will be strictly limited, with a daily limit of 500 people. The entry permit period is three months, with a maximum stay of 15 days at a time. You can apply for an extension for up to 7 days at a time. 5. If mainland tourists fail to return after the expiry date, Taiwan Province will first notify the mainland emergency contact person and travel agency to look for them. Those who have not returned for more than 7 days will be recorded in Taiwan’s files as mainland tourists and mainland emergency contacts, and will not be allowed to visit Taiwan under any name for 3 years. 6. On October 18, 2014, Jiang Yihua, head of the Taiwan Provincial Administrative Agency, stated that the daily limit of 4,000 mainland tourists to Taiwan will not be increased in the short term. However, he said that the regulations for mainland tourists to travel to outlying islands will be gradually relaxed, with the goal of canceling The restriction on the number of mainland tourists visiting outlying islands has further boosted the outlying island tourism industry.
