Taiwan Double Luck Campaign 2026: Eligibility & Registration Guide

Reward Credit
NT$5,000
For repeat visitors (NT$3,000 for first-time companions)

Taiwan Tourism Administration launched the “Return to Taiwan, Double Your Luck” promotion running from October 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027, covering arrivals from October 10. Qualifying repeat travelers receive NT$5,000 in electronic transit cards via lottery, while first-time companions receive NT$3,000. Here is the verified breakdown of eligibility criteria, registration windows, and redemption steps.

Check First: Are You Eligible?

Not every international traveler qualifies automatically. Before booking your itinerary, verify your travel details against the mandatory criteria below:

Entering Taiwan on a foreign (non-Taiwan) passport as an independent traveler
Documented visit to Taiwan between January 1, 2023 and the day before campaign registration (repeat visitor)
No record of visiting Taiwan between January 1, 2023 and arrival date (first-time companion)
Length of stay in Taiwan between 3 and 90 days
Registration completed between 7 and 90 days prior to arrival in Taiwan

All conditions must be satisfied. Group tours and business visas subject to separate corporate travel arrangements do not qualify. Trips shorter than 3 days or longer than 90 days fall outside the lottery parameters, even when flying on discount fares such as Tigerair Taiwan promotional sales.

Registration Timeline Step by Step

Redeeming campaign credits requires disciplined scheduling before departure and immediately upon touchdown.

Step
Action Required

STEP AFlight Booking
Confirm a round-trip itinerary with a stay between 3 and 90 days. Keep your return ticket confirmation handy, or cross-check fare schedules on the Airline Sale Calendar.

STEP BOnline Registration
Register on the official portal between 7 and 90 days before your Taiwan arrival. Select your preferred card format (EasyCard, iPASS, or icash 2.0).

STEP CWeekly Drawings
Drawings occur every Wednesday at 12:00 from October 1, 2026 to March 24, 2027. Non-winning entries roll over automatically.

STEP DArrival Verification
Upload your return flight ticket image within 24 hours of passing immigration in Taiwan. Failure to verify invalidates the prize, whether traveling on LCCs or major carriers featured in JAL international campaign itineraries.

STEP ECard Loading
Load the approved balance onto an existing card or acquire a new card at airport counters.

Critical Pitfalls to Avoid

Registration Closes 7 Days Before Arrival

Entries submitted fewer than 7 days prior to arrival cannot be processed. Airport staff cannot manually register travelers upon landing.

Mandatory 24-Hour Ticket Upload Window

Winners must upload proof of onward travel within 24 hours of landing. Ensure active mobile data connectivity upon arrival to complete verification immediately.

Physical Card Required for Balance Loading

Credit is not disbursed in cash. Travelers must present an existing EasyCard, iPASS, or icash 2.0, or purchase one at the arrival service counter.

What Happens if You Miss Deadlines?

All submission deadlines are rigidly enforced by the automated platform. Submitting registration after the 7-day cutoff permanently forfeits lottery eligibility for that trip. Similarly, missing the 24-hour verification window after landing triggers automatic prize revocation without appeal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a 3-day weekend trip qualify?

Yes, itineraries spanning 3 full days or more qualify under the 3-to-90 day requirement.

What happens if my entry is not drawn on the first Wednesday?

Non-winning registrations automatically remain active for subsequent weekly drawings throughout the campaign cycle.

Can first-time travelers apply independently for the companion credit?

No, companion eligibility requires linking the entry to an eligible repeat visitor’s application.
