In accordance with the Centers of Disease Control’s COVID-19 prevention policy, all inbound travelers are required to fill in health declaration cards and/or home quarantine notices, depending on their place of departure. To avoid problems arising from indecipherable handwriting or inaccurate contact details, starting from March 15, Taoyuan International Airport staff have been helping arriving passengers type out their home quarantine notices and verify their cell phone numbers.
As the number of countries and territories designated by the CDC as level 3 warning areas continues to grow, Taoyuan International Airport Corporation advises all inbound passengers to utilize the “health declaration and home quarantine notice electronic system”and follow the four easy steps of “scan QR code, enter information, receive text message and display cell phone” to significantly save time and expedite your immigration process. All passengers who have a Taiwan cell phone number from any carrier can follow the following steps:
1. When you check in at your airport of origin, you can scan the QR code to enter the “online quarantine system“ and fill in your details while waiting to board. The QR code can also be found on posters after you arrive in Taiwan.
2. Enter your health details into the system.
3. After your information is verified, you will receive certification through text message.
4. Show airport officials your certification on the cell phone for a much smoother and hassle-free immigration process.
Inbound passengers can fill in their health declaration and home quarantine notice online to expedite their immigration process.
