Taiwanese nationals can enter Vietnam visa‑free for stays of up to 45 days for tourism; for longer stays or other purposes a visa is required. If you are a national of a third country, check Taiwan’s visa policy for your nationality and Vietnam’s entry requirements separately." }, "q3": { "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Kaohsiung?", "answer": "Kaohsiung International Airport is connected to the city center by the Kaohsiung Metro Red Line, which offers a fast and reliable ride to downtown in about 20–30 minutes, making it the most-used option. Taxis are readily available outside both terminals and provide a convenient door-to-door journey, though at a higher cost. Ride-sharing services like Uber also operate, but they can be less common than taxis. Car rental counters are present for those who prefer to drive, but navigating and parking in the city can be challenging. While buses serve the airport, they are slower and less frequent than the metro, so they are rarely used by visitors heading to the center.", "toolsUsed": [], "references": [ { "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaohsiung_International_Airport", "title": "Kaohsiung International Airport", "favicon": "https://en.wikipedia.org/static/apple-touch/wikipedia.png", "time_published": "2026-07-17T20:10:12Z" }, { "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%AB%98%E9%9B%84%E5%9C%8B%E9%9A%9B%E6%A9%9F%E5%A0%B4", "title": "Kaohsiung International Airport", "favicon": "https://en.wikipedia.org/static/apple-touch/wikipedia.png", "time_published": "2026-07-15T07:31:27Z" }, { "url": "https://justaviation.aero/ground-handling-service/kaohsiung-international-airport-khh/", "title": "Kaohsiung International Airport (KHH) | Just Aviation", "time_published": "2023-04-01T00:00:00Z" }, { "url": "https://justaviation.aero/inflight-catering-services/kaohsiung-airport/", "title": "Inflight Catering at Kaohsiung Airport", "time_published": "2025-07-15T00:00:00Z" }, { "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KHH", "title": "KHH", "favicon": "https://en.wikipedia.org/static/apple-touch/wikipedia.png", "time_published": "2026-02-01T11:32:10Z" } ] }, "q6": { "question": "Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Hanoi to Kaohsiung?", "answer": "There are no nonstop red-eye flights from Hanoi to Kaohsiung, but connecting red-eye itineraries are available via Macau (MFM) on Air Macau (NX).
