What the advice says

  • The US State Department rates Taiwan at Level 1, Exercise Normal Precautions, a country-level advisory rather than one specific to Tainan.
  • The UK FCDO notes that crime rates are extremely low in Taiwan, while still advising travelers to remain vigilant and monitor local media.
  • There is no recent history of terrorism in Taiwan, though the FCDO cautions that attacks cannot be ruled out given a broader elevated global terrorism threat.
  • Travelers should always carry identification such as a passport, as recommended by the FCDO.
  • Typhoon season runs from May to November, and the FCDO advises monitoring official weather alerts and being aware of possible road blockages or landslides afterward.
  • Earthquakes are a risk in Taiwan, and travelers should review basic earthquake safety guidance before and during their stay.
  • Solo travelers should take standard precautions such as sharing travel plans with someone and staying alert to surroundings, particularly after dark.
