🇹🇼 Visiting Taiwan? Don't make this mistake.
Credit cards work at malls and chain restaurants — but night markets, street food stalls, temple snacks, local shops? Cash only.
Here are the 3 easiest ways to get Taiwan Dollars 👇
1. Airport Exchange Counter
✅ Open 24hrs at Taoyuan & Kaohsiung airports
✅ No appointment, accepts most currencies
⚠️ Rates aren't the best — just grab enough for Day 1
2. ATM at 7-Eleven or FamilyMart
✅ Available 24/7, on every corner
✅ Live exchange rate, no paperwork
💡 Pick "charge in TWD" to avoid bad conversion rates
⚠️ Check if your bank charges overseas fees before you go
3. Bank of Taiwan Branch (Best Rates!)
✅ Lowest fees, best exchange rates in the country
✅ Bring your passport, NT$30 service fee
⚠️ Mon–Fri only, 09:00–15:30
Budget tip: NT$2,000–3,000/day is a comfortable amount for transport, food & sightseeing.
🚨 One more thing — Taiwan Dollars are hard to exchange outside Taiwan. Use it up or convert it back before you fly out!
Cash sorted. Now enjoy Taiwan 🧋
