Taiwan has lifted all of its Covid-19 entry restrictions, allowing tourists unfettered access to the self-ruled island after more than two-and-a-half years of border controls.

Hong Kong and Taiwan, together with mainland China, have long-required most visitors to complete a mandatory quarantine period throughout the pandemic, even as most countries reopened their borders to tourists.
