A Taiwan eSIM is a virtual SIM card that connects you instantly to Taiwanese mobile networks (Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan Mobile, Far EasTone) without a physical card. Plans start at $3.30 for 1 GB, up to $45 for unlimited.
Do you really need an eSIM? Taiwan is not in the European Union: no free EU roaming. International roaming fees are very high ($5-10/MB). An eSIM is therefore essential to avoid astronomical bills.
