Re: DC18 - Currency

[Peter van Summeren <peter_van_summeren@hotmail.com>]

I could use my MasterCard with atm's. You have to go to the ones used by the public.

I also took cash with me for emergency.

For Taiwan there is another brand of Visa.

This kind of card is used by americans.

Ask your bank at home.

(My Visa card did not work at all banks)

Expect no help from the counter.

With friendly greetings,

Unless you don't have a VISA card or your bank has very bad conditions
for using an ATM abroad, exchanging cash at the airport doesn't make
much sense.

I have been in Taiwan in 2016 and I could just use my VISA at Kaohsiung
port terminal to withdraw enough money for my stay without any additional
fees. They also sold SIM cards there at ridiculously low prices with
unlimited internet for 5 days for something like 600 NTD.
