Thank you for sharing this moments
Thank you for sharing the transfer information, I will be flying from Bangkok to Taipei for transferring back to LA, my friend asked me to get Sunny Hills pineapple cake, I tried to search for the info, some of them stated it’s unable to get it for transferring flight, would like to see whether you have this info, thank you in advance for or if you could share!
Hi! Great video. Do you know if you can transit without going through immigration if flights are booked under different PNR but you have no checked luggage?
Yes usually you don't need to go through immigration without checked luggage.
Hi Steven! Appreciate this comment - I am in a similar situation for a trip next month. Were you able to skip immigration transiting between terminals?
Hi, thank you for the video. However I wonder if its possible in the transfer desk the airline agent can pull up my bag and check through onwards flight? In my case I have different PNR, first flight with Cathay Pacific, second flight with Starlux.
Hi, usually with different PNR the bags cannot be sent to the final destination.
If you check in your bag at the LAX, then don't they send it to the destination? that you don't need to claim the bag at the layover in TPE and check in again? I'll be flying to ICN Korea via EVA, layover in TPE soon. I took another flight some years ago and I vaguely remember they sent the checked bag to ICN that I didn't need to do anything at TPE. I wonder if things have changed since then.
hi, if the flights are booked on a single ticket/ booking, then the baggage will be checked through to the final destination.
@@theresearchfiles Oh, so they will send it to the final destination, and nothing has changed when you book with the same airline. Thanx so much! ^^
When flights booked under dif PNR, do i need to fill out an arrival card, and what should I mention in the residential address in Taiwan? the airport address? Thank you
Hi if you need to go through immigration, as I know, arrival card is required. You can just put "Transit".
Can i leave the airport and explore taiwan if i have a 9hr layover before my next flight to incheon? I'm flying from sfo(US citizen) to incheon but have a 9hr layover in TPE.
Hi, yes you can. You can also book the free half day tour.

Thank you! Too bad, there's no more available for tomorrow. Do you think there'll be more tour offers at the airport? I don't mind paying.
@@ylai1670 not sure, probably. Maybe can try booking from tripadvisor or klook
Hi I have one hour transit at Taipei airport coming from San Francisco to Bangkok by China air. if my flight is on time do you think in one hour can I be able to catch my flight to Bangkok ?
Hi, if your flights are booked on one ticket/ PNR, then yes.
@@theresearchfiles thanks .
What if I’m arriving on Starlux from the US and departing on EVA to the Philippines? Do I need to go through immigration?
It depends on whether you have to collect your baggage and re-checkin for your connecting flight.
@@theresearchfiles thank you. If I have to proceed through immigration, do you have any idea of the average wait time for immigration? I have a 3-hour layover before my connecting flight.
@@tiopuerco6923 It's hard to be sure but on average it takes about one hour to clear immigration.
@@theresearchfiles Thank you again for responding. Hopefully everything will go without any problems.
Do you need to go through border control like mainland China if you are on transit flight? Connecting flight only 2 hours and I find China border time consuming
Usually with flights booked under a single PNR, you don't need to go through border control during transit.
Hello! I have one and a half hours layover at Taipei airport coming from Bangkok to Vancouver by China Airline. Can you please let me know if the time provided is enough to catch my connecting flight to Vancouver?
Hi, if your flights are under a single PNR/ ticket, your baggage is checked-through and you don't have to pass immigration, yes.
@@theresearchfiles Thank you 🥰
Hi so I’m a US citizen with just a US Passport and I have to flight through TPE airport to get to Manila Philippines will I need a Transit Visa?
Hi, If you wish to enter Taiwan as a tourist or short-term visitor (less than 90 days), you do not need a visa.

What about :
1) Vax certificates
2) PCR Tests
