Taipei:Taiwan's Tourism Administration has announced the extension of its NT$600 (US$18.30) gift voucher initiative for foreign transit passengers at Taoyuan International Airport through the end of 2028.
According to Focus Taiwan, the voucher program, which was initially set to run from November 1, 2025, to October 31, 2026, will now continue until December 31, 2028, or until the allocated funds are depleted. The extension aims to encourage transit passengers to enter Taiwan and spend money at the airport, aligning with the projected completion of Terminal 3 by the end of 2027.
The program was originally funded with NT$22 million, sufficient to issue approximately 36,666 vouchers valued at NT$600 each. As of October 31, 33,525 vouchers had been distributed, with the remaining supply expected to run out by the end of November. To accommodate ongoing demand, the Tourism Administration plans to print an additional 40,000 vouchers, with adjustments based on distribution and demand.
Launched on November 1, 2025, the "Enter Taiwan, Enjoy a Gift!" program provides NT$600 gift vouchers to passengers with non-ROC passports who transit through Taoyuan International Airport for stays of up to 24 hours. Eligible travelers must register on the campaign website and present their passports and connecting flight boarding passes to collect the vouchers at the Tourism Administration's Visitor Service Centers.
The vouchers can be used at participating businesses within the airport, such as restaurants, duty-free stores, and souvenir shops. A list of these businesses is available on the campaign website. In 2025, Taoyuan International Airport, Taiwan's primary international gateway, recorded 6.69 million transit passengers, as per the Taoyuan International Airport Corp.
