The incentive scheme starts at 12:00 noon on May 1st, 2023, and will run until June 30th 2025.

Anyone whose flight arrives in Taiwan between these dates, and has registered for Lucky Land will have a chance of winning.

The 500,000 vouchers will be split up and released in batches each year:

Any independent traveller who doesn’t hold a Taiwanese (ROC) passport and is visiting Taiwan for between 3 and 90 days during the period it runs.

An independent traveller is defined as anyone not on a tour group, and have not applied for any group-related travel incentives.

So basically, it’s open to virtually all tourists.

If you’re travelling as a family or in your own group, then each one of you can apply separately – you just need to ensure you use a different email address for each application.

I have also received confirmation from the organisers of the giveaway that there is no minimum age requirement, so you can even use your children’s details – although they’ll need to have their own passport number.

Finally, if you’re visiting Taiwan multiple times during the period of the draw, it’s perfectly fine to re-enter the draw separately on each visit.

Visit their registration website to begin the process.

You can register between 1 and 7 days before your scheduled arrival date in Taiwan. It is not possible to register on the same day as your flight.

You must have already booked your flights before you register, as you’ll need to enter your flight details along with the following:

• Nationality
• Passport Number
• Arrival and Departure Flight Numbers
• Arrival and Departure Dates
• Email Address

You will also need to specify which type of voucher you would like to receive. See the ‘ Lucky Land Vouchers ‘ section below for further details about these.

Once you’ve registered, you’ll be sent a QR code to the specified email address.

When you arrive in Taiwan , make your way to the arrival hall at any of these airports:

• Taoyuan International Airport (Terminals 1 and 2)
• Songshan International Airport
• Taichung International Airport
• Kaohsiung International Airport

Locate the Lucky Land prize redemption area ( visit this page for exact locations ) and scan your QR code to see if you’ve won.

If you’re a winner, you’ll need to supply them with the following documents:

• Boarding Pass (don’t throw this away!)
• Electronic Round-Trip Air Ticket

and they will immediately give you your NT$5,000 worth of vouchers!

There are 3 types of vouchers you can receive:

• E-Ticket EasyCard
• E-Ticket iPass
• Accommodation Vouchers

You must specify which type of voucher you want when registering

Both the EasyCard and iPass e-vouchers offer similar incentives. These are smart cards that can be used in many locations, including most types of transportation, convenience stores, some supermarkets, malls and restaurants, and many other attractions including museums and Taipei Zoo.

You are limited by the amount you can spend with these – NT$1,500 for a single purchase and a maximum of NT$3,000 for same-day purchases. The e-voucher card may not be topped up, refunded, or returned, so you should try to use it up.

The Accommodation vouchers can be used to book rooms at participating hotels and B&Bs around Taiwan. You must book your stay from each hotel website (and not a third-party site such as Booking.com).

Click here for a full list of participating hotels along with links for each hotel website

You will be given 5 vouchers worth NT$1,000 each which can be used separately or together.

Which Type of Voucher Should you Get?

I don’t really understand how you can take advantage of the accommodation vouchers as you’ll have most likely already booked your stay, unless you only book your initial stay and keep your options open just in case you win.

If you decide to get the e-vouchers, you won’t have any trouble spending your NT$5,000 quota, even if you’re only in Taiwan for 3 days.

Personally, I would recommend getting an EasyCard as they’re the most widely accepted smart card in Taiwan.

Before the pandemic struck, Taiwan saw a record number of visitors during 2019 – with almost 12 million tourists.

However, since it’s re-opening in 2022, Taiwan has struggled to get tourists returning – hence why they’ve introduced this scheme, with which they’re hoping to attract up to 6 million tourists during 2023.

Now let’s do some very rough Maths.

Assuming that around 2 millions of these will visit before 1st May, when the tourist incentive scheme isn’t available, and then of the remaining 4 million, maybe half of these aren’t aware of the scheme and don’t register (which is a very conservative estimate), then that leaves 2 million.

If there are 250,000 vouchers available, you have about a 1 in 8 chance of winning. If there are more of you, then those odds will significantly improve.

This is for 2023 only, so in 2024 when there are only 150,000 vouchers available for the entire year, and 2025 when there are only 100,000 vouchers for 6 months, the odds will become worse by up to three-fold.

In other words, try to get to Taiwan in 2023. Not only do you have a good chance of getting some extra spending money, but you’ll also get to enjoy this beautiful country and the many delights it has to offer!

Voucher lottery for visitors begins.

• Staff writer, with CNA

Starting at noon today, foreign independent travelers arriving in Taiwan would be eligible to enter a draw to win NT$5,000 vouchers, the Tourism Bureau said.

The visitors should be scheduled to stay in the nation for at least three days to be eligible for the draw, it said.

However, travelers who arrive in tour groups or whose trips are subsidized by tour-related incentives would not be eligible, it added.

The voucher promotion is expected to benefit 500,000 foreign travelers until June 30, 2025, the bureau said, adding that the promotional period could be extended if the incentives prove to be effective.

To demonstrate how the draw works, several foreign tourists who arrived at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport’s Terminal 2 on Saturday were invited to try their luck.

Some visitors from France, Canada, South Korea and Hong Kong won the vouchers, the bureau said.

Tourism officials said foreign travelers can register for the draw on the campaign’s Web site (5000.taiwan.net.tw), which began accepting registrations on Friday.

Eligible visitors should register for the draw within one to seven days before their arrival in Taiwan, they said.

For example, visitors traveling on a flight that is scheduled to arrive in Taiwan at 11:59pm on June 1 can register for the draw from midnight on May 24 until 1 second before midnight on May 30, the Web site says.

In addition to providing their travel and contact information on the Web site, travelers need to indicate whether they want to redeem the NT$5,000 on a payment card or as five NT$1,000 vouchers that can be used to pay for their accommodation in Taiwan, the bureau said.

People who complete their registration would receive a confirmation e-mail containing a QR code that would be used for the draw, it said.

Upon arriving at one of the participating airports — Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, Taipei International Airport (Songshan airport), Taichung International Airport and Kaohsiung International Airport — the travelers should proceed to a dedicated area in the arrival hall and scan the QR code to enter the draw.

The draw is part of the government’s plan to attract 6 million foreign tourists by the end of this year and 12 million next year, which was the original target set for 2019.

As of Friday, Taiwan had recorded 1.55 million visitors this year, the bureau said.

The nation attracted a record 11.86 million visitors in 2019.

The incentives and subsidies are part of the government’s NT$380 billion post-COVID-19 pandemic economic recovery package approved by lawmakers on March 24.

This amazing campaign is called “Taiwan – the Lucky Land 遊台灣金福氣” and it is generously organised by Taiwan Tourism Administration.

Hope you will win Taiwan freebies while enjoying Taiwan!

Table of Contents

What is Taiwan – The Lucky Land campaign?

Taiwan – The Lucky Land is a travel incentive campaign for foreign international travellers who are visiting Taiwan from May 1st to June 30th 2025. As part of the campaign to welcome travellers to Taiwan, Taiwan is giving out travel prizes (NT$5,000) to 500,000 lucky travellers.

Who is eligible?

You are eligible to take part in the giveaway if:

• You are a foreign independent traveler who does not a Taiwan (Republic of China ROC) passport.
• You are staying in Taiwan between 3 to 90 days.  
• You are an independent traveler and you are not part of any tour groups and you are not applying for any group-related Taiwan travel incentives.

What are the prizes?

You can win one of the three types of prizes worth NT$5,000!  The NT$5,000 prizes are provided either in the form of a pre-paid (E-ticket) card or a set of accommodation vouchers. These prizes are valid for up to 90 days after issuance.

1. Prepaid e-ticket cards

If you win this, you can receive a prepaid e-ticket card! Lucky draw winner can choose either an EasyCard or an iPASS card or an iCash 2.0 card that comes with a stored value of NT $5,000.

Important notes about using the free value cards

• You can use the card to make payment for transportation (like train and buses) and at stores and attractions that accept the card.
• Each payment (or each time you tap the card) is capped at NT$1,500.

What are EasyCard, iPass card, and iCash 2.0 card?

EasyCard (悠遊卡), iPASS card (一卡通), and iCash 2.0 card (旅游卡) are contactless smart cards (also called integrated circuit IC card). They have similar functions and the main difference is that they are issued by different companies. You can use them for transportation and shopping. Many shops like convenience stores, bubble tea stores, shopping malls, restaurants, and also many tourist attractions accept both cards. I have both cards and they are super convenient! Tap and go!

2. Accommodation Vouchers

If you win this, you will receive 5 vouchers of NT$1,000 each. The vouchers can be used at the participating hotels or bed and breakfasts (B&Bs) listed on Taiwan – The Lucky Land website .

I looked through the comprehensive list of hotels and B&Bs and there are over 400 accommodation options! You can choose from luxurious hotels in Taipei like Regent Taipei and Silks Place Yilan , affordable hotels like Holiday Inn Express, and a wide range of B&Bs and hostels.

Important notes about using accommodation vouchers

• 5 vouchers of NT$1,000 each are issued to the winner and can only be used by the winner.
• Each voucher can be used once and no change or resale is allowed.
• The voucher is applicable to partner tourist hotels and B&Bs in Taiwan that have obtained a tourist hotel license or a registration certificate in accordance with these regulations.
• 90 days starting from the day the travel prize is claimed and collected.
• Make sure you register with your personal information correctly! When registering for the lucky draw, the traveler is responsible for ensuring the accuracy and authenticity of the information that they supply. If a traveler is unable to participate in the event or collect a prize due to any errors, this shall be the responsibility of the traveler and not the event organizer.

 There are two ways to redeem the vouchers:

• You can use the vouchers for hotels and B&Bs that accept reservations either through a) in-house channels or b) a third party, such as Agoda or a travel agency.
• If a reservation is made via a hotel’s official in-house channel (such as its website or by email/telephone/Line), you can pay the agreed-upon amount upon arrival using the accommodation vouchers.
• Take note! If a reservation is made via a third-party service, any discounts involved shall not be accepted by the hotel, and you must pay the “full price” as charged by the hotel. Payment must be made upon arrival using the accommodation vouchers. (Thus, the room fee may be higher than that indicated when the reservation was made.) Full payment of any outstanding amount must be made upon arrival using the accommodation vouchers

  Category 2

• You can use the vouchers for hotels and B&Bs that only accept reservations through official in-house channels, such as via the hotel’s website.
• For these hotels and B&Bs, vouchers will not be accepted for booking made via a third party, such as Agoda.
• When a reservation is made through a hotel’s official in-house channel, you pay the agreed-upon rate upon arrival and can use the accommodation vouchers to make all or part of this payment.

How to participate?

How can you join the Taiwan giveaway campaign? I have studied the website diligently and won a prize. Well, technically, I did not win a prize but my travel companion won so we shared the prize! Read a summary of the steps and check our our winning video below.

Taiwan government is giving away NT$5,000 travel vouchers to tourists

Here's everything you need to know

Planning for a trip to Taiwan? Well, you're in luck as the Taiwan government has just announced that they will be dishing out travel vouchers (much like our consumption voucher scheme , but travel edition) with the aim to boost tourism and attract foreign visitors to the country. Here's what you need to know:

What is it?

Starting May 1, 2023 (12pm), the Taiwan Tourism Bureau will be distributing 500,000 vouchers worth NT$5,000 each (approximately HK$1,280) as travel incentives for tourists visiting Taiwan. The vouchers will be given out through a lucky draw system and will run all the way through to June 30, 2025. The first 250,000 vouchers will be given out in 2023, while the remaining 150,000 vouchers will be distributed in 2024, and 100,000 vouchers in 2025.

Who is eligible?

Independent travellers who do not hold a ROC (Republic of China) passport and are staying in Taiwan for three to 90 days are eligible. However, this does not apply to those travelling in tour groups. In other words, Hong Kong residents holding a Hong Kong passport can participate!

How do I enter the lucky draw?

The rules are simple. Those who are eligible can register online one to seven days prior to their arrival date in Taiwan on a designated government website (5000.taiwan.net.tw). Registration begins on April 28 at 12pm – but remember, the lucky draw only starts from May 1, 12pm onwards.

Participants must fill in the necessary travel information and choose the type of vouchers they would like to receive (electronic tickets or accommodation discount vouchers). A QR code for the lucky draw will be sent to you via email upon successful registration.

On the day of arrival in Taiwan, participants can head to the lucky draw event area located at the arrival halls in one of four Taiwan airports: Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, Taipei Songshan Airport, Taichung International Airport, and Kaohsiung International Airport.

How do I collect my prize?

Lucky winners may head to the airport's redemption area and provide relevant documents – including their entry stamp, boarding pass, and an electronic copy of their round-trip tickets – to redeem their prize.

How can I use the travel vouchers?

Those who have chosen to claim their prize in the form of electronic tickets may store the money on an EasyCard or iPass and spend them at designated merchants. Each transaction limit is NT$5,000, while the maximum usage per day is NT$3,000.

Meanwhile, winners who have opted for accommodation discounts will receive five vouchers worth NT$1,000 each. The vouchers can only be used once by the winner at hotels with tourist hotel business licenses and commercial hotels or hostels with registered licenses. The vouchers can not be reused or resold.
