Frequently asked questions
Where do I collect the physical pass?
At any THSR ticket counter across the network — including Taipei, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Taichung, Chiayi, Tainan, and Zuoying (Kaohsiung). Simply show your voucher and your passport.
Can I use this pass if I am not travelling visa-free?
Yes, provided your visa permits a maximum stay of 180 days. The pass is not available to residents or those on longer-term visas.
What is the difference between the two-day flexible and three-day consecutive passes?
The three-day consecutive pass covers three calendar days in a row. The two-day flexible pass lets you choose any two days within the validity window, so they do not need to be back-to-back.
Are children covered by the pass?
Children under 6 travel free of charge, though they are not entitled to their own seat. Children aged 6 and over require their own pass.
Can I travel in business class with this pass?
No. The pass covers standard class (non-reserved) seats only. Business class is not included and cannot be upgraded to using the pass.
What happens if I do not exchange my voucher within 90 days?
The voucher expires after 90 days from purchase. Once exchanged, the physical pass must then be activated and used within 28 days. Plan your exchange around your travel dates to avoid losing validity.
