Taiwan-Palau travel bubble starts from March 17, 2021: it allows travel agencies to organize group tours to Palau and receive tour groups from Palau; tours organized under the travel bubble should meet five main disease prevention principles

On March 17, 2021, the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) announced that it will launch a travel bubble with Palau,   which allow travel agencies to organize group tours to Palau and to receive tour groups from Palau, and the planning and arrangements of tours should meet the disease prevention principles listed below.

1. Only travel in groups is permitted, and no individual itineraries can be arranged.

2. Planning of the travel itinerary is based on the principle of avoiding crowds and designating areas that are separate from local residents, and appropriate lodging locations and travel routes should be arranged before the tour.

3. Shuttle service should be operated at designated places throughout the stay in Palau, and transportation vehicles should be disinfected every day.

4. Travelers can only stay at local hotels with safety and disease prevention related certification recognized by local health authorities in Palau.

5. A designated dining area and appropriate separation measures shall be arranged for travelers while routes, movements, and seating plans shall also be arranged to keep social distancing.  

The CECC pointed out that travelers who wish to take part in the travel bubble must meet the following requirements: they have no history of international travel within six months; they didn't undergo home isolation or quarantine or practice self-health management in the recent two months; they have not been diagnosed with COVID-19 within three months. Furthermore, such travelers should undergo PCR testing and obtain a negative test result at the airport before departure. Travelers coming back to Taiwan from Palau are not required to undergo PCR testing, and they can be exempted from home quarantine but must practice enhanced self-health management within five days after returning to Taiwan; after they take a self-paid test on the 5th day and obtain a negative test result, they can begin to practice regular self-health management until the 14th day after entry.
