Is it possible to enter Taiwan without a return ticket?
Will Taiwan let me in if I show up with a one-way ticket only?
My nationality is visa exempt and I can stay 90 days in Taiwan with no problem. My plan is to get to Taiwan, hang out for a bit (anywhere from 1 week to 3 months), and then keep traveling to other countries in southeast Asia. Of course I didn't plan anything besides the one way flight and the hotel for the first two nights. I was wondering if anyone has experience getting to Taiwan without an already scheduled flight to exit the country. I know that the US would not like that at all for instance...

According to the Bureau of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Republic of China (Taiwan), the requirements for visa-exempt travel to Taiwan include :
2.a confirmed return air/sea ticket or an air/sea ticket and a visa for the next destination, and a confirmed seat reservation for departure.
Timatic (the system used by most my airlines to check visa requirements) also states that :
Visitors not holding return/onward tickets could be refused entry.
Which means that it's likely that the airline involved wouldn't allow you to actually board the plane to Taiwan without an onward ticket.

Answer 2
I've flown to Taiwan many times and the only airline that requires return tickets is jetstar, so just avoid them and you're good, it's a horrible company anyways
