Money The official unit of currency is the NEW TAIWAN DOLLAR (NT$).  For the current exchange rate, please go to xe.com's Universal Currency Converter.

Coins come in denominations of NT$ 1, NT$ 5, NT$ 10, NT$ 20 (rare)  and NT$ 50.

Notes come in denominations of NT$ 100, NT$ 200, NT$ 500, NT$ 1,000 and NT$ 2,000.

Banking hours are 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday to Friday and 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, Saturday.

US dollars and other foreign currency are not generally accepted in shops.

It is advisable to have your foreign currency exchanged to NEW TAIWAN DOLLARS the moment you arrive at the airport.  The Bank of Taiwan has the best rates and the least service charge. Whether you change your money at the airport or in the city, the rate is the same.

Your foreign ATM card may or may not work in Taiwan.  Please check with your bank beforehand.

Credit Cards International credit cards are accepted in hotels, supermarkets, department stores and most upscale restaurants.  Even with a work permit and ARC, foreigners cannot apply for local credit cards.

We have heard that foreigners can apply for a credit card in Taiwan if he/she can get a local Taiwanese to act as a guarantor.  Considering this, nobody is naive enough accept this kind of responsibility..

Tipping Tipping is not necessary in restaurants, bars, taxis and most other places.  The only place a tip would be expected is from a hotel bellhop or porter at the airport.  A reasonable amount is NT$ 50 for every piece of luggage.

Bigger hotels and restaurants will automatically add a 10% service charge to your bill.

Weather The seasons in Taiwan are actually not very much differentiated. The climate can be described as having only summer and winter during the year.

The summer climate starts from February to October and the temperature can be as high as 35 degrees during the daytime or as low as 23 degrees during the nighttime. Northern Taiwan is generally more humid while the south is warmer and dryer.

Remember to bring umbrellas with you wherever you go during the rainy seasons (May and June) and be more careful when you go out during the typhoon days in July and August. For the rest of the time, enjoy your summer and have fun in the beaches!

The winter climate starts from November to January and is not as cold as in South Korea, Japan or China. The temperature is normally over 15 degrees, unless there is a cold wave where the temperature can drop as low as 9 degrees.
