Taiwan eSIM for travellers
Data in Taiwan, from the moment you land
Taipei, Taichung, Tainan or Hualien: get data at Taoyuan arrivals for the MRT, night markets and the high-speed rail.
Choose your plan
Unlimited: 2 GB a day at full speed, then up to 512 kbps for the rest of the day.
Prices will be shown at launch. Leave your email at checkout and we'll tell you the day we open.
Good to know
Install before you fly
Install it at home on Wi-Fi. It stays off until you switch it on for data at your destination.
Keep your own SIM
Your usual SIM stays in for calls and texts. Set the Veela eSIM as your line for mobile data.
Help when you're there
The assistant answers in your language at any hour, and a person picks up anything it can't fix.
Tips for Taiwan
- Taipei's MRT, buses and many shops work with an EasyCard, but route planning and translation need data.
- For a week of city trips, 5 to 10 GB is comfortable. Taroko Gorge and mountain roads have weaker coverage.
- Night market vendors increasingly take mobile payments; keep a bit of cash too.
Taiwan eSIM questions
Does it work on the outlying islands?
Coverage on Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu depends on the partner network. Main island coverage is complete.
Can I add Japan or Korea on the same trip?
Yes, with the Asia regional plan, which covers Taiwan, Japan and South Korea on one eSIM.
When does the plan start?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Taiwan. Installing it at home doesn't start the clock.
Is my phone compatible?
Dial *#06#. If you see an EID number and your phone is unlocked, it works. See the compatibility checker for common models.
Can I top up?
Yes. From your account, add data to the same eSIM without reinstalling it.
