Taiwan further opens its borders to eligible countries. According to the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC), the visa-exempt entry scheme to Taiwan will be fully reinstated from 29 September 2022 for several countries, including Malaysia.
Nationals from eligible visa-free countries can engage in activities that do not require a permit, such as business, exhibition visits, fact-finding missions, international exchanges, visiting relatives, tourism, and social events in Taiwan.
Starting 29 September, countries like Chile, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia can enter Taiwan visa-free, and do not need to do the PCR Covid-19 test when arrived. Malaysia is eligible for the visa exemption program, with a duration of stay of up to 30 days. Check the full list here.

The “three days of quarantine and four days of self-initiated epidemic prevention” rule still remains, with one person per room. Although no PCR test is required when arrived, visitors still need to do the at-home rapid test on the day of arrival and the third day of quarantine.
