New Taiwan Lucky Land 2025 / 2026 – “Thank You Season”

Here’s the lowdown on the latest Lucky Land promotion which launched 12 November 2025 and runs until 30 January 2026.

This new “Lucky Land – Thank You Season” is different from the previous version as it is a monthly prize draw with prizes including airline tickets, hotel accommodation vouchers, and convenience store gift cards.

Winners will receive a notification email with a link to schedule their prize collection. After arriving in Taiwan, they can collect the prize at the designated airport.

Anyone who entered the previous Lucky Land draw and travelled to Taiwan before is welcome to enter. Sadly, if you didn’t enter the last Lucky Land promo (i.e you are a first time Taiwan traveller), you cannot enter this one.

You must register on the “Taiwan the Lucky Land – Thank You Season” website 5000.taiwan.net.tw before arriving in Taiwan.

Once registration is successful, you will be entered into the monthly draw. If you do not win, your entry will automatically carry over to the following month’s draw.

Each monthly draw is held during the final week of that month. Prize redemption deadlines are as follows:

• Round 1 – redeem by 28 February 2026
• Round 2 – redeem by 31 March 2026
• Round 3 – redeem by 30 April 2026

Who is eligible to play the Taiwan Lucky Land Draw?

Free entry to the Lucky Land promo is open to anyone visiting Taiwan from 1 May 2023 to 30 September 2025.

Lucky Land is open to any Foreign independent travelers who hold overseas passports (not part of ROF), have stays in Taiwan between 3 to 90 days and are not part of a tour group.

One prize draw entry per traveller is allowed per visit to Taiwan – there is also a temporary promotion allowing repeat visitors to enter one more time if they return to Taiwan between 1 October and 31 December 2024.

Note you must pre-register to take part before you arrive in Taiwan – we’ll tell you how shortly.

What can you win in the Taiwan Lucky Land Draw?

There are some big prizes to be won in the Lucky Land promo at Taiwan airports – although not everyone wins. Neither of us won when we recently took part in early October 2024 – boohoo!

When you register, you are given the choice of whether you want to enter for accommodation vouchers or prepaid cash-cards like iPass or EasyCards.

Taiwanderers Tip – book your Taiwan / Taipei hotels months in advance if you can as prices sometimes increase the nearer to your trip. If you use Agoda, you can book cancellable hotels so you can rebook with ease if you find a better deal or lower price nearer the time.

They can be used for selected hotel restaurants and spas as well – make sure to visit the official Taiwan Tourism list to see which hotels have this option. If the hotel offers use of their restaurants with the voucher you will se a dining icon, and if they offer spa usage you will see a spa icon.

If entering the Lucky Land prize draw, we personally think you are best to go for the accommodation vouchers as you have a better chance of winning. Most of the prepaid cash cards have already been allocated as prizes.

If you do win a cashcard, just be aware the maximum single-use limit for the EasyCard is NT$1,500 and NT$1,000 for the iPass – both also have a max cap spend of NT$3,000 a day. iCash 2.0 has no such limits.

Arriving in Taiwan – step by step guide to playing the Lucky Land Draw

We played the Lucky Land Draw at Taoyuan International Airport Terminal 1 in early October but the method is the same at all participating Taiwan airports.

Once you’ve cleared immigration, picked up your bags and gone through customs, you’ll see signposts in the arrival halls to the Lucky Draw booths.

Join the likely queues (don’t worry – they’ll move fast) and get the QR code you were sent by email ready on your phone.

The Taiwan airports usually have free WiFi or just use a screenshot – also check out these Taiwan airport SIM / eSIM / Wifi rental deals with Klook >

Once at the front of the queue, go to the next available tablet or TV screen and follow the instructions that appear on screen.

There are various language settings you can change on the Lucky Land game screen including English and Mandarin.

All you do is scan your QR code on your phone in the window on the tablet – then a simple Lucky Land animation takes place (featuring the famous Taiwan bear in cartoon form).

On the tablet screen in front of you, a virtual token drops across the screen, which ultimately either falls into a ‘winning’ prize pot or a non-prize pot. The whole thing takes less than 30 seconds.

Alas neither of us won – however, if you are a Lucky Land winner, you then go to the desk next to the Lucky Land booth to claim your prize.

And so playing the Lucky Land prize draw in Taiwan is really as simple as that – good luck and happy travels in Taiwan!
