Cannot.
If you go make new passport you are given two choices:

2 years for RM 100 but cannot bring the remaining months to your new passport.
5 years for RM 300 but can bring the remaining months to your new passport.

Tis is my 6th day in Taiwan.So far i.hv been.to Taichung, Hualien,Jiufen, Shifen n Danshui.Hired a recommended driver taxi to go all these plc except Danshui.Save a lot time n no nid to look for hotels or how to get here n there.N all luggage jz dump in d car.N d driver prebook d hotel for us.so far so good.igave a budget of TWD1200 - TWD1500.Managed to stay in Wulin wz hotspring n it was great.

While in Taipei , stayed in ShihLin.area.Homestay jz across th Shihlin mkt.Jiantan MRT 10 min walk. N moving soon to Xi Men.Ding area for 2 nites.

I must agree some said food in.Taiwan is nothing to shout abt....food is repetitive in ShihLin or everywhere u go.See lots of deep fried XL chick, bbq squid, all.d spare parts thingy,.ru rou fan...mostly deep fried stuff.So far...d best variety I could find is at Ning Xia nite(is all abt food here n no.shopping).Food in Taiwan r not cheap .M jz refering hawkers food on d street.Thieir small plate of braised pork leg cost TWD100..n sucks.Thailand has better pork leg. N pls dun.eat the bbq corn ...dunno.wat sauce they put...got very strong taste of five spice powder...ohhh yucks!... n d corn texture is not crunchy nor sweet.Our Msian bbq corn wz butter n.salt taste better anytime.btw...d chillies is SUPER HOT..i can take spicy food fr Thailand or in Msia but Taiwan chilli hot n spicy...it kills or put u off d moment u eat it.

N those heading here soon...go n take d easycard at wisma goldhill for free.Juz load money in 7/11.can use it in d bus, mrt, convenient store, watson etc.

Bring along umbrella or rain coat.It rains occassionally here.Temp might drop at nite so bring a fleece perhaps.

most area i visited in taiwan also very nice, just the taipei 101 building not much interesting in it.. KLCC is much better

counting down the days to taiwan

nice, welcoming the summer..

can check for the credit card rates before paying deposit for hotel?

U dont need to check.Cos transaction time n.d time u chk ...there might be a plus minus figure

Totally agree.long q n so many tourist fr China.Din Tai Fung oso overated.

Better go to d food court next to d restaurant which has a variety of food.Price is reasonable.Close to d price at d night mkt or a bit higher but u hv comfortable plc n good ambience to dine there.

I had the tou hua wz peanut soup @ TWD40...is d same price as at Ning Xia..!!!

so 6 days u brought 1.5k twd to spend? Including food transport and hotel?

Hi, mind to share the contact of the taxi driver and pay rate per day trip?

I will going to Taiwan this 25-Apr to 30-Apr and my destination would be focus on Yang Ming Shan and Ri Yue Tan.
So far haven't book for taxi and hotel yet, any recommendation from you?

Not enuf.u probably bring along RM2.5k to be safe.but depend how u spend.and food in taiwan.is not cheap

Search tis forum for Mr Liao. Hotel in Taipei - one2stay.only 9 unit.Near Xi Men MRT exit 1. READ d review in trip advisor. Very convenient. good location.Tis is meant for budget traveller.
