Is it possible to be denied entry to Taiwan?

The visa-free program does not guarantee entry to Taiwan. The Taiwan Bureau of Immigration reserves the right to authorize or deny admission to Taiwan. If you have a criminal record, have overstayed in Taiwan on a previous trip, or cannot prove sufficient funds to support yourself while in Taiwan, yes you may be denied entry.

If you are staying for more than 14 days and you need an E-VISA:

You can apply for an e-visa online. You don’t have to physically go to the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in the Philippines anymore. It costs TWD 1,632 to apply for an e-visa and it takes three (3) working days to process.

If approved, e-visas are valid for three (3) months from the date of issue and allow you a stay of up to thirty (30) days. This new e-visa policy will be on a trial basis for one (1) year. You can check this link for frequently asked questions about the Taiwan e-visa.
