What's your biggest take away from this video and how did we do answering all of your questions? If there's anything we missed, please list below and give us feedback on how we can continue to help! UPDATE: FOLLOWUP VIDEO WILL BE UP IN ONE HOUR!
Thank you for watching and commenting :-) yes so many of the videos we watched before did not provide enough detail and we had to learn some things the hard way. 14 days is a long time to spend with toothpaste that makes you gag every time you use it. LOL
Hi I am local and I LOVE this video. By far, yours is the most detailed one about incoming quarantine! And the most funny one. I didn't get to travel since you know when and only get to heard about the procedures at the airport and etc. Thanks for the introduction. Hope you will enjoy your time in Taiwan long or short.
Thank you that's sweet for you to say :-) we know that some of the protocols and procedures have changed with the new year so we plan to make an update video soon. stay tuned!
Hope everything is a little easier going by then. I understand why the processes are in place but it sure would be great if some of the steps could be cut out. Thanks for watching and thanks for coming and we really appreciate it 😊 ~JB
First, welcome back, I've missed you videos. Wow what a process to travel during this time. How different was this experience than having to quarantine in the US.
I can't figure out if you just made a great joke or are asking a serious question Aunt Cindy. I know each state has their own mandate. I didn't think any state has quarantine mandates. Am I out of touch? 👀
I don't think ur phone is tracked by the system. it's it will trigger to notice the system, if ur phone is out of a certain range around a preset phone company equipment near ur hotel. just want to point out that there is difference here, in case some people get missed impressions about taiwan government. u guys deserve more on yt, and wish u have every wonderful day while in taiwan.❤
Thanks for watching and commenting. We have no concerns about Taiwanese government. They've done a great job with managing this virus . It could be lost in translation but this article states phone tracking... www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-taiwan-surveillanc-idUSKBN2170SK

woah - 6 months quarantine experience between the two of you! That's intense! What ended up happening to your food that got dropped outside the hotel? Did you get it in the end?
That 6 months quarantine experience is a combined total if you consider the times I've (Justin) been quarantined in other countries for other epidemics. I think someone brought the food up... I'll have to check with Leah...
Thank you guys! Great video 😀 I have a question: were you allowed to take trains or buses during the 7-day self health management period? According to the government guidelines, it seems to be ok, but my university says not to. Could you clarify this please?
😆 you asked a great question! Unfortunately there is no clear answer that anyone can give some authorities will say yes and other authorities in the same office will say no. Leah was able to take public transit from Taipei to our hometown but you can ask five people and get five different answers. But hey, that's typical throughout so many places we have lived in Asia. Thanks for watching we appreciate the support :-) good luck and if you have more questions be sure to ask you can also check us out on Instagram and ask questions there usually we reply a little more quickly with Instagram. Thanks again good luck
That all depends on who answers the phone at the CDC. That all depends on which authorities you ask. Most recently Leah was in Taipei for quarantine and no one could give her the correct or the same answer. so despite what the CDC website says there are agents and officials from the Central Epidemic Command Center that gave us different information regarding public transit use after your 14 days of quarantine. Things are changing all the time so it's very typical to keep the answers consistent I'm sure
Excellent video and info. Only small technical boo boo was that that instructions are in Chinese, not Mandarin. Mandarin is the spoken language, but the written part is almost same for all Chinese people, barring a few local words. Great info, fun, humourous and full of good insights. Thanks
Oh wow! Thank you for that clarification!! I did ask fellow coworkers and friends and was told it was interchangeable. We definitely didn't mean to communicate any misinformation and appreciate the education.
Hi guys, for the covid test what happens if you are found to be positive before even leaving the country? Are you allowed to cancel the hotel stay? Also, to enter Taiwan you will need a PCR test that is done within 72hours (I think it's been updated to 48 hours), and not two calendar days? For example if my flight is on Wed at 4pm, I can't go get my PCR test on Monday 10 AM? Also how did you guys decide which hotel to book?
He has some great questions and we are actually in the process of working on an update to the process because some changes have made but some decisions have not been finalized because it is coming up on the Chinese New Year and there are still decisions that need to be made by the epidemic command center. We hope to have a video up within a week please stay tuned hopefully we can answer your questions.
Thanks for the question Roslyn. If you live in the States you need to follow the process of an FBI Channeler. We've always used Accurate Biometrics out of Chicago Illinois. Find them on Google and start the process with there. Good luck!
I have a question about the LINE app. I already use LINE to communicate with family members, and my LINE account is tied to my US mobile number. If I buy a SIM card at the Taiwan airport, will my existing LINE account just detect the new Taiwan number? The reason I ask is because I have heard that LINE doesn't actually let you switch phone numbers like that. Specifically, I have read that they don't let you switch regions (e.g. from US to Taiwan). Does that mean I have to delete the app, redownload it, and boot it up with the Taiwan SIM card inside the phone and then start a whole new account? But then I would lose all my contact capabilities with my family since I no longer have access to my old LINE account? Or is there a way to easily toggle between 2 accounts?
The line app is a difficult app to manage and it is definitely a challenge to switch between one sim card and another you must follow the instructions explicitly and be sure to do a backup of all of your chats, I think it recommends using Google drive as your backup. I would encourage you to make sure your line app has the sign in option of using your email address and login works for the desktop app. We have lost a lot of conversations and important information swapping between SIM cards and using the line app. We are not big fans of it but it is a very popular tool here. There is a help article on the line app web page I suggest following it to the letter to make sure that you are easily able to Port your account over to a new number. Good luck! Be sure to screenshot any necessary info you have in there in case the backup doesn't work. ~Justin
@@Justin_Leah Thank you for your response. If my LINE app is set to US number and my SIM is a TW number, does LINE still work or will it complain and stop working? If it still works, then is there even really a reason to do the technical procedures to set my LINE app to the TW number? Also, I know the TW government sends SMS daily texts asking about symptoms. But apparently they also ask you to add them on LINE, too? How do you add them to your LINE? And I know the SMS texts are mandatory to respond to, but is LINE communication with them also mandatory?
First let us recommend that you always respond to any communication that they send you whether it is by SMS or through the line app. I can assure you that putting in a new SIM card into your phone will indeed have a negative impact on your usability of the line app. Unfortunately I recommend going through the convoluted steps to secure your account history and to make sure you can Port your number over. One other option is to use an old phone and open up a new account all together if you're fortunate enough to have an old phone. But eventually when you get a full time TW SIM card you will need to eventually take those steps to Port it to the Taiwanese number.
Yes currently you'll need a special entry visa to get into the country. We made a video about special entry visas for teachers who have already been issued I work permit. ruclips.net/video/pTrYXHaEdo0/видео.html
I was wondering, when you check in to the cess or the Quarantine System for Entry, are we required to do a passport scan? Or if we already came with an sim, can we just fill in the form and continue to the next thing?
Great questions. During the most recent quarantine Leah only had to give the CESS her passport number but things could change because it is an ever evolving system. If you have a Taiwanese number then you can skip getting a SIM card if you do not have a Taiwanese number you will need to get a temporary Taiwanese SIM card for the duration of your quarantine. Thanks for watching!
Hi I just came across your video and it is so helpful. I do have a couple questions for you. Sorry if they sounds dumb I just want to make sure I have all my i’s dotted and t’s crossed. 1) Does that 72 hour count also your connecting flight? Like if I fly from Denver on a Wednesday to San Francisco and then to Taipei. But land in Taipei on that Friday or something? Or is it from the first flight (Denver)? 2) Can you write your passport number on your PCT test? 3) Will I be able to go to the currency exchange or ATM before going to my hotel? 4) Also I have food allergies when do I let my hotel know this? Thank you so much.
Hi Miranda! There's no such thing as a dumb question so please ask away. If we can help, we will. :-) (1) You may want to have a look at our updated video as the requirements to enter Taiwan are now 48 hours. Your originating city is how your 48 hour window will be calculated. So if you connect into a city (or country) in a different time zone, you should be okay. (2) I would suggest leaving your PCR paperwork in its original format. The suggestion of having your number on your results was only to make the check-in and verification process easier. (3) You will not be able to visit the currency exchange in the Taiwan airport after your arrival but you have a few options 1. Arriving early at your departure airport to see if maybe they can exchange for you before arriving to TW or going to a local currency exchange in your city. My bank (in the states) does my currency exchange at a great rate. (4) I think this varies. My hotel had a space to communicate any special requests but I don't know if all hotels have this option when booking. If you know where you're staying, you may be able to look up contact information and send a direct request to the front desk. Information is always changing and being updated so make sure you check the links in our newest video that has communication directly from the Taiwanese government. I hope this helps - Leah
@@Justin_Leah thank you so much for your help. I do have another question. Since I will be moving there and as usual you want to bring snacks and treats like (powder coffee mate creamer, coffee grounds, or granola bars, etc) Can I bring those in my checked in bags? Also I am having trouble finding the guidelines for what I can and cannot bring food wise. Also if I do bring those things do I put them on my customs forms?
@@mirandavillalba7836 Hi Miranda!! Foods that are strictly forbidden to bring to Taiwan are fresh fruits and vegetables, and plant or animal products which did not have prior approval (live animals, live stock, and live plants). Dried goods such as your coffee powder, coffee, granola bars, etc can be packed with your checked bags and do not need to be declared by customs unless you're bringing in thousands of dollars worth of products. I am not sure what the regulated dollar amount is but it should be on the customs form if you want to have a look before you board. Unless you plan on feeding the entire hotel, you should be okay. 🙂 If you ARE planning on feeding the entire hotel, please bring Little Debbie oatmeal cream pies and Flaming hot cheetos and Justin and I will buy your entire stash. Sincerely - Leah
