TIPS FOR SENIORS

A little prep goes a long way — travel with confidence

Real-world advice to keep your Taiwan trip smooth and safe.

🚇
Senior EasyCard: 75% off MRT fares

Travelers aged 65 and over with a foreign ID or special registration are eligible for up to 75% off MRT fares. Ask at any Taiwan tourism office for details. Every station has elevators and wheelchair ramps.

🏥
Get insurance with NT$3M (≈ US$100k) medical cover

Medical costs in Taiwan are very high without insurance. Choose a plan that covers your pre-existing conditions, double-check the maximum age on the policy, and call the insurer to confirm your coverage before you fly.

💊
Bring your medications — plus a 7-day backup

Some medications can be hard to find in Taiwan, or sold under different brand names. Pack enough for the trip plus an extra week in case of delays. Carry your prescription or a doctor's letter in English just in case.

⛰️
Avoid Alishan (2,200 m) with heart conditions

Alishan sits at 2,200 m above sea level. Travelers with heart disease, high blood pressure, or breathing problems should consult a doctor first. Sun Moon Lake (748 m) is much safer and just as beautiful.

🍽️
Pick hotels with restaurants on property

An in-house restaurant means you don't have to walk out late at night or on tired days. Every hotel on this list has restaurants or a full breakfast service on site — everything covered, no surprises.

📞
Taiwan tourist hotline: 0800-011-765

A free 24-hour hotline with multilingual interpreters who can help in emergencies — finding a hospital, contacting your embassy, or arranging transport. Save the number in your phone before you leave home.

FAQ

Questions from seniors and their families

Do Thai senior travelers need a visa for Taiwan?
Thai passport holders enjoy visa-free entry to Taiwan for up to 14 days. Seniors with a valid Thai passport can enter Taiwan without applying for a visa in advance. We recommend making sure your passport has at least 6 months of validity remaining before you fly.
Is Taiwan's MRT system senior-friendly?
Very much so. Every Taipei MRT station has elevators, ramps, and bilingual Chinese-English signage. Trains have dedicated priority seats in blue for seniors. Travelers aged 65 and over with a Senior EasyCard get up to 75% off fares.
Do hospitals in Taipei speak English?
Major hospitals in Taipei — including National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei Veterans General Hospital, and Mackay Memorial Hospital — have international patient departments with English-language paperwork. Some also have Thai interpreters. The tourist hotline 0800-011-765 offers multilingual assistance 24 hours a day.
How much travel insurance should seniors get?
We recommend medical coverage of at least 3 million THB (around US$100,000). Choose a plan that covers pre-existing conditions, check the maximum age limits on the policy, and confirm your coverage with the insurer before you fly.
Which Taiwan destinations should seniors with heart issues avoid?
Be cautious with — or avoid — Alishan (2,200 m) if you have heart disease or breathing problems. Sun Moon Lake (748 m) is much more comfortable. Taipei and Kaohsiung sit at sea level and are safe for travelers of all fitness levels. Always check with your doctor before traveling.
