MANILA (Bernama-PNA): Taiwan has extended its visa-free entry programme for Philippine passport holders until 2026, the Philippines News Agency (PNA) reported.

Taiwanese Foreign Minister Lin Chia Lung announced the one-year extension on his social media account on Friday night, following his official remarks during the Philippine Independence Day reception hosted by the Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO) in Taipei.

The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) in Manila said Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs is expected to release an official statement regarding the extension on Monday.

Filipinos were first included in Taiwan’s pilot visa-free scheme in November 2017, allowing them to stay in Taiwan for up to 14 days without a visa. - Bernama-PNA
