When it's 6:00 PM in Taoyuan, it's 3:00 AM in Phoenix.
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.

Uber and Lyft pick up at Ground Transportation on the lower level; follow signs. Taxis are metered; downtown Phoenix costs $20–30.Rental car agencies are consolidated in the Rental Car Center; the Sky Train connects there from both terminals without going to the street.

Hot desert climate. Summers (June–September) are extreme. Daytime temperatures regularly exceed 43°C, occasionally reaching 48°C. Heat alone rarely cancels flights, but density altitude affects small aircraft performance. Monsoon season (July–mid-September) brings dramatic dust storms (haboob) that close the airport when they hit, plus intense flash-flooding thunderstorms that ground departures for 30–90 minutes.
Winters are exceptionally mild (10–22°C) with virtually no precipitation and near-constant sunshine. PHX has one of the lowest weather cancellation rates of any major US airport from November through April. Spring and fall are pleasant; late May and early June are hot and dry before monsoon arrives.
