TPE: CST · LAX: PDT
When it's 6:00 PM in Taoyuan, it's 3:00 AM in Los Angeles.
Taiwan is part of the US Visa Waiver Program. Taiwanese passport holders can enter the United States for up to 90 days without a visa, but must obtain an approved ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) before boarding. Apply at the official CBP site. ESTA costs USD 21, is valid for 2 years, and covers multiple entries. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the planned stay. The 90-day limit cannot be extended, and overstaying voids future ESTA eligibility.
The Airport MRT (Taoyuan Airport Line) connects Taipei Main Station to the airport in 35 minutes for TWD $160 (express) or 50 minutes for TWD $150 (commuter). Trains run from 06:00 to 23:00. Bus services (Kuo-Kuang and others) also connect central Taipei to Taoyuan for around TWD $125, but are slower.Taxis from Taipei city centre cost TWD $1,200–1,600 depending on traffic; the national freeway (No. 2) is the standard driving route. Self-drive parking is available in multi-storey structures at both terminals.
LAX has no direct rail link to downtown. The closest option is the free LAX Shuttle G to the Metro C Line station at Aviation/Century Blvd (fare $1.75 to Union Station, 40–50 min). Taxis use a meter; expect $35–55 to downtown and $30–45 to Santa Monica. Ride-shares cost $20–45 depending on destination and surge pricing.Rental car facilities are a short shuttle ride from terminals. FlyAway buses run to Union Station, Van Nuys, Hollywood, and Westwood ($9.75–11.25). For LAX Connect (the new people mover to Inglewood), check if it has opened at time of travel.
