Question 1

Is cash essential in Taiwan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Despite the many ATMs (7-Eleven, local banks), TWD cash remains essential at night markets (Shilin, Raohe, Liuhe), street food stalls, temples, rural markets and small family shops. Allow 2,000–3,000 TWD for your first 24 hours.

Question 3

Is it better to buy TWD in Paris or in Taiwan?

Accepted Answer

It's advisable to arrive with some TWD for your first expenses. On site, exchange counters at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport offer reasonable rates on arrival. Taiwanese banks (Bank of Taiwan, CTBC Bank) in city centres generally offer better rates.

Question 4

Are French bank cards accepted in Taiwan?

Accepted Answer

Visa and Mastercard are accepted at hotels, large restaurants and modern shops. However, many food stalls, night markets and small businesses only accept cash. ATMs at banks and 7-Elevens generally accept international cards.

Yes. You can come directly to the store 7 days a week. For large amounts (over €1,500), booking ahead is recommended to guarantee availability.

Are there restrictions on importing TWD into Taiwan?

Accepted Answer

Travellers may import up to 100,000 TWD without declaration. For foreign currency amounts exceeding the equivalent of USD 10,000, a customs declaration is required on arrival at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport.
