Current Travel Situation
Liberia to Taiwan: What You Need to Know
Taiwan and Liberia have interesting diplomatic history: Liberia was one of Taiwan's African diplomatic allies until 2003, when it switched recognition to the People's Republic of China. Despite this change, Taiwan maintains a visa application system accessible to Liberian passport holders through its representative offices in neighboring countries. Taiwan's ICDF (International Cooperation and Development Fund) continues some development programs in West Africa.
How to Get There
No direct flights from Monrovia (ROB) to Taiwan. Common routes go via Addis Ababa (ADD) on Ethiopian Airlines to Taipei Taoyuan (TPE) or via Hong Kong or Singapore. Total journey times are 18-26 hours. EVA Air and China Airlines operate from various hubs. Within Taiwan, the High Speed Rail (HSR) connects major cities, and the Taoyuan Airport MRT runs to Taipei city.
Money & Banking
Taiwan uses the New Taiwan Dollar (NTD). ATMs are plentiful and accept international cards at 7-Eleven and banks. Credit cards accepted at most establishments. Tipping is not expected. Taiwan is relatively affordable: budget $50-90 USD per day.
Practical Tips
TECO offices handle applications professionally. Prepare a clear itinerary with hotel names and activities. Taiwan's immigration is particularly interested in confirming your intent to return to Liberia, so strong ties evidence (employment, property, family) is important. Taiwan's tourism infrastructure is excellent and English signage is widespread in major cities.
