Winners will receive a notification email – you must click the link in the email and upload the requested information for verification purposes within 24 hours of arriving in Taiwan.

Within 24 hours after completing the verification process, present your redemption QR code at any Taiwan 7-Eleven store to receive the prize credit.

Most places accept these cards so your prize credits can be used to buy most things.

In addition, there will be bonus offers from hotels, Taiwan transport companies, dining offers and more.

How to enter The Lucky Land prize draw

Eligible travellers (see below for requirements) can register on the Lucky Land website here (5000.taiwan.net.tw) from 1 October 2026 onwards.

You MUST sign up 7 to 90 days before arriving in Taiwan – so for instance, you can’t enter at the last minute or at the airport when you arrive.

Lucky Land 2026 / 2027 eligibility

To be eligible to enter “Return To Taiwan, Double Your Luck”, you must:

• Be an international, non ROC passport holder visiting Taiwan for 3 to 90 days
• Have previously visited Taiwan since 1 January 2023
• You must register online 7 to 90 days before you arrive in Taiwan
• Arriving into Taiwan from 10 October 2026 to 31 March 2027

How to redeem Lucky Land credits

Travellers must bring or purchase an EasyCard, iPASS or icash card and have it topped up at any 7-Eleven store in Taiwan within 24 hours of arriving in Taiwan.

Returning visitors and their participating  friends / family members must use separate cards to receive their prize credits – you cannot put separate prizes onto one card.

Each card has a maximum storage value of NT$10,000.

How to enter

You must register on the “Taiwan the Lucky Land/ “Return to Taiwan, Double Your Luck” website 5000.taiwan.net.tw before arriving in Taiwan.

It reopens for entries from 1 October 2026 for eligible return travellers to Taiwan who are visiting between 10 October 2026 and March 2027.

Once the new Lucky Land website reopens, we will add more information.

*****August 2026 update – please note the remaining information below is now out of date and relates to the original Lucky Land draw from 2023 – 2025****

What are the new Lucky Land prizes?

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. Check out our guide on how to use Lucky Land accommodation vouchers >

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!
