Self-health management hotels reservation
In addition to the guidelines, mrhost has also compiled detailed information about the self-health management hotels in each county and city. In addition, mrhost also has extended stay hotels that offer Self-health management.
In the section “How to count the days?”, it is stated, “Let’s assume that Andrew arrive in Taiwan on January 1st. After the expiration of the quarantine period, seven days of self-health management, Andrew will end his self-health management on January 19.” I believe the self-health management ends on January 9th, not on January 19th.
Hey Murali, I have double-checked your suggestion and yes there was a mistake in the writing. Thanks for helping us notice that. We will make the necessary changes. Thank you again
Hi, please clarify, the “0+7”self monitoring has to be completed in a registered hotel? What if i am planning to tour Taiwan for 4 nights only? Can i take a test instead and if negative, proceed to my flight leaving Taiwan? Thanks
Hi, sorry for the late reply. Thanks for reaching out to the blog. Under the 0+7, there is no more quarantine hotel. So you can stay at a friend’s house if it follows the one person per room rule or you can also book a normal hotel for your stay. You can tour Taiwan anytime as long as you have a negative result from a rapid test before going out and after that, you can travel back somewhere else.
Hi just want to ask me, my father, and 8yrs old kid booked to travel in taiwan on October 28, are we allowed to stay in 1 room? Because we have 2 rooms wid respective bathroom in our house in taiwan?
As long as you arrive on the same day you can stay at the same place. So yes you can stay in your house in Taiwan as long as it is the 3 of you.
May I clarify whether I can travel for 5d and stay in 2 different hotels? Thank you!
Hi Talitha yes you can do that as long as the hotels you stay at accept the 0+7 policy
Does filipino tourist can enter taiwan now? We booked for October 28 up to November 6???? I have 8yrs old kid with me and a senior citizen?

Me and my son will go back to Taiwan this December 18,2022. And I am scheduled to renew my ARC, can we visit or can we go to NIA office for renewal on the 3rd or 4th day of our self quarantine as long as we have a negative test on COVID -19 self test? We have a booked a hotel for 7days by the way…
Yes, you can still go to NIA office to renew your ARC during 0+7 period.
Thanks~
