Possible? Then, details on transport from airport to the chosen location. Assume that l am completely in the dark re Taiwan though l did live in Philippines for eight years.

    The nationals of the following countries are eligible for the visa exemption program, which permits a duration of stay up to 90 days:Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, U.K. (citizens only), U.S.A., and Vatican City State.

    Frankly speaking, for two people/tourists, with the amount of money you can afford (roughly TWD 37K/month), the budget is on the low side. To be able to get by, you will need to do your homework and research.

    You could rent a low cost place outside of big cities, and then you plan for backpacking/hostel style of trips to different regions of Taiwan.

    You will need to have your valid UK passport that has 6 months until expiration. Also a departure airline ticket.

    Come to Hualien on the East Coast. You can rent a very nice, quiet place here for GBP200/month.
