Frequently Asked Questions

Taiwan eSIM

Buy the Airlivo Taiwan eSIM online, install it before you fly by scanning the QR code, then switch it on when you land at Taoyuan or Kaohsiung. There's no physical SIM to collect and no registration — you're connected the moment the local network is detected, ready to navigate the MRT straight from the airport.
The Airlivo Taiwan eSIM connects to a top network such as Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan Mobile or FarEasTone, with fast 4G/LTE and 5G in the cities. Chunghwa has the widest geographic reach, so it's the safest choice for the east coast, Taroko Gorge and mountain areas beyond Taipei.
Yes. Sun Moon Lake and the main Taroko Gorge road and visitor areas have reliable 4G on a Chunghwa-based network. Signal can drop in the deep gorge and on high-altitude trails, and the east coast (Hualien, Taitung, Kenting) has less Wi-Fi than the west, so your eSIM is your main connection there — save offline maps for hikes.
On Wi-Fi at home, open the email from Airlivo and scan the QR code to install the eSIM, leaving it switched off. When you land, turn on the eSIM line and enable data roaming. Installing before you fly means you're online right away — handy for jumping on the MRT or Taoyuan Airport MRT the moment you arrive.
For a west-coast circuit (Taipei, Taichung, Tainan, Kaohsiung) over 10-14 days, 5-10 GB covers maps, LINE, food research and photos. For a full island loop including the east coast — where Wi-Fi is scarcer — an unlimited plan is the safest bet, since mobile data becomes your main connection.
Choose by trip length and route: Airlivo Taiwan data plans run from 1 GB up to 50 GB and unlimited. A 10 GB plan suits a west-coast city trip; a full island loop is more relaxed with unlimited, and a Chunghwa-based plan gives the best rural coverage. Buy and install before you fly so you land connected.
Yes, and remarkably well. The Taipei MRT has 4G/5G throughout, including inside the tunnels — unlike the metros in some other cities — so you can navigate and message the whole way. The High Speed Rail keeps a strong signal for most of the Taipei-Kaohsiung run, ideal for planning on the move.
No, it's data only and doesn't come with a Taiwanese number. LINE is used by almost everyone here for calls and messages, so you'll stay in touch over your eSIM data, and your own number stays active on your main SIM for verification codes.
It works nationwide, so it activates as soon as you land at any Taiwanese airport — Taoyuan (TPE), Taipei Songshan (TSA) or Kaohsiung (KHH). Turn on data roaming for the eSIM line after landing and you're online right away, ready to take the Airport MRT or book a taxi.
A travel eSIM is the simplest option: you install it before the trip and it activates on landing, with no counter queue after a long flight. Local tourist SIMs are sold at the airport but mean stopping to buy and swap cards. With the eSIM your home number also stays active on your main SIM.

Travel Tips

Taiwan — Useful tips for your trip

1

Taiwan's currency is the New Taiwan dollar (TWD). Cards are accepted in cities, but night markets, small shops and rural areas often want cash. Get an EasyCard (from any metro station or convenience store) to tap for the MRT, buses, trains and even purchases at 7-Eleven and FamilyMart.

2

LINE is the messaging app everyone uses in Taiwan — for friends, businesses, bookings and support. Set it up on your phone; it runs on your eSIM data. Google Maps also works well for navigation and finding restaurants.

3

Public transport is superb: the Taipei and Kaohsiung MRT systems are cheap, clean and in English, and the High Speed Rail whisks you down the west coast in a couple of hours. Use your EasyCard and your eSIM data to plan routes on the go.

4

Taiwan uses 110V with Type A and B sockets — the same flat-pin plugs as the USA and Japan. Travellers from those countries need no adapter; others should bring one, and most modern chargers handle the voltage automatically.

5

Convenience stores (7-Eleven, FamilyMart) are on almost every corner and are a traveller's best friend — pay bills, top up your EasyCard, grab cheap meals, use the ATM and even collect parcels. It's easiest to boil or buy bottled water rather than drink from the tap.

6

Taiwan's night markets are a highlight — Shilin in Taipei, Liuhe in Kaohsiung and many more serve cheap, delicious street food. Use your eSIM to look up which stalls are famous, check opening days and translate menus with Google Translate.

7

Typhoon season runs roughly June to October, when a big storm can close attractions and transport for a day. Check the forecast and any warnings, especially before heading to the mountains or east coast, and download offline maps for Taroko and rural areas.

Taiwan — Taipei's night markets, Taroko Gorge, Jiufen village, bubble tea and one of Asia's densest concentrations of technology and culture. Order your eSIM, get your QR code instantly, set up before you fly. Connected in Taipei, Kaohsiung, Tainan and everywhere, no roaming.
